The game is called Monkey in the middle.

I bet I know what caused the guy to think "pickle," though...

A "pickle" is a baseball term referring to the time when a runner is trapped between bases (e.g. if a runner was half-way from first to second, and the second- basemen was thrown the ball, and the runner stopped, and ran back toward first, and the second basemen then threw the ball to first causing the runner to stop, and run back to second, etc. etc... until the runner was tagged out, or made it safely to a base, he'd be "in a pickle"),

You see pickles pretty regularly in Little League games.
