I apologize for the confusion, but as an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information or events beyond my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021. Furthermore, pickleball is a relatively new sport, and its history is not as extensive or well-documented as other sports. As a result, I don't have detailed information about specific events that might have occurred on February 27th in pickleball history.

However, I can provide you with some general information about the sport. Pickleball was invented in 1965 by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The game is a combination of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, and is played on a smaller court with a perforated plastic ball and solid paddles.

Over the years, pickleball has grown in popularity, particularly among older adults, as it provides a low-impact, social activity that can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels. In recent years, the sport has seen a surge in popularity, with the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) reporting a 650% increase in membership between 2013 and 2019.

While I can't provide details about a specific event on February 27th, the growth and development of pickleball as a sport is an ongoing story, with new milestones and achievements happening regularly as more people discover and fall in love with this fun and engaging game.
