I attended a presentation about the sport known as Pickleball last week. It is America’s fastest growing sport. There are tournaments all around the country now and it may become an Olympic sport. We’re getting some new courts near us and I really want to play. The guy doing the presentation is 85 years old and he plays every day. Very impressive!
During the Q & A I asked him about the origin of the name “Pickleball”. I asked him if he thought there would be other racquet sports named after vegetables. I reminded him that we already had squash.
I like to think that maybe I’ve planted the seed for other vegetable themed racquet sports.
