After the incredible success of pickleball, it looks like a new sport is ready to take the world by storm. It is tennis-baseball. The new sport is nothing but a combination of a pitcher serving a tennis ball at the batter instead of pitching, with players all around the ballpark using a racket to hit the ball to the bases. It’s clear that playing baseball with tennis rackets will pique the interest of many fans of both sports. Recently, a fan expressed a desire to compete in this incredible fusion of sports while including tennis and baseball greats in the same frame.
