We call it Jai Alai (prounced hi lie), I don't know where the name came from. It used to be very popular as a betting sport in South Florida, now I believe its only played in the Miami area if at all. I do remember most people believed it was fixed and it was a huge when the first non-Basque started playing.angib wrote:
