Last Issue:  Many baseball fields have a sign on the wall reading: "No Pepper Games."  What exactly is a pepper game, and why are pepper games not allowed?

Answer(s):  Supposing you see a sign on the wall in back of homeplate or elsewhere that says "No Pepper."  This has nothing to do with spices - "pepper" is an infield warm-up exercise that, played often enough in the same spot destroys the grass.
