The pickleball craze is hitting the big leagues in the United States.

Courts for the tennis/badminton/ping pong hybrid were being laid out in Fenway Park on a recent Tuesday in preparation for a weekend that would give fans of the sport a chance to watch the pros play or even give it a try themselves in the outfield of the Red Sox historic home.
