We showed my now 13U team last summer, they loved it. We finished a practice unexpectedly early late last year, and they asked if they could stay. OF COURSE was my response and they went into the OF to play themselves. They also love to throw down gloves for bases and put them about 40' apart, grab a bat and a TCB wiffle. Everyone bats op-handed. All the Lefties become slappers and the righties now swing away. They would play that for hours

We have played pepper in the back yard for a couple years with our kids and yes they love it so much that they have created a new game out of it they call it pepper poppy and you actually want to hit some in the air to try to get them to drop fly balls and to miss balls on the ground and they use a point system to see who wins.

Please enlighten me as I must be the only one who doesn't know...what is "pepper" and how do you play?
Thanks!!

Line up some kids and have them toss a ball to a kid with a bat and they slap the ball back at them and if they hit it in the air and a kid catches it in the air they get to hit.

Sounds like good ol' stickball... barehanded..... catcher no mask.

Stick ball that brings back memories of being at the park when I was little playing cup ball with the kids those were the days lol.

Uh oh, old(er) guys remembering back when broom handles were made from wood, and you could use the end pieces (bristles) to light the stove.... errr or maybe its just me.
