Jai Alai is really interesting. Glad you asked about it. You can read about it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jai_Alai http://www.dania-jai-alai.com/history.htm The court or arena is three sided. It has two small walls, one at each end, and a really, really long back wall. Players wear a special catching and releasing mitt with a long snout called a cesta. Because of the leverage available with this unusual piece of gear, players can launch a ball at well over 150 miles an hour. Ain't no Major League hurlers can even come CLOSE to that! Oh, and the cesta is always worn on the right hand. No left handed play is permitted. Check that out! Crazy, huh?!
