'It is the hot activity right now,' said Slice co-owner Ron Saslow. 'I like the fact that it's fun, it's social, it's easy to learn, it's easy to play.'
If you haven't at least heard of pickleball by now, you're way behind, but the fast-growing sport is no longer just for amateurs playing for fun.
That's part of the reason Saslow got a group together to put a team into Major League Pickleball, the aptly-named Chicago Slice. "They're doing so, because I think they're wise, knowing sports and business as well as they do, but I also think they have a passion for the sport, which makes it even more fun. So when we were interviewing people to be part of our ownership group, that was clearly a criteria as well, was that you had to have a passion for the sport," Saslow said."Absolutely a riot. Absolutely. I thought I had done everything in tennis and platform.
