What are Sport Peppers?

Sport peppers are on the shelves of every grocery store around Chicago but are practically nonexistent across the rest of the country. What do they look like? They’re small and thin, roughly half the length of a pinky finger, with a distinct tapered pointy end, and they always come pickled in glass jars.
