The Banana Ball game between the Party Animals and Texas Tailgaters had, as is custom, a special guest on June 19 at First Horizon Park.
Johnny Knoxville, promoting a new "Jackass" movie, came to the plate during the Banana Ball game in Nashville.

Knoxville was joined by his "Jackass" sidekick Steve-O, who entered the game and scored a run while his jacket was on fire.
Knoxville had an at-bat, stood in front of home plate to make a human strike zone and brandished a taser. He also fouled a pitch off in his at-bat before striking out.
