BASEBALL. It’s just a word, but for millions of Americans, it brings to mind so many images (印象).

Hot dogs. Cold beers. Sunny afternoon. Baseball is the game of fathers and sons. Fathers and sons have been playing catch with each other on lawns (草坪) for generations (一代人) in the US. A father’s favorite team becomes his son’s. Grandfathers talk to their grandsons about games played long ago.

Many American kids collect baseball cards. The cards have pictures of their favorite players on them. In schools, friends trade (交易) baseball cards just like they trade lunches.

Players are known as “the boys of summer” because the sport is most often played in the warm months. You don’t need to be of a certain size or shape to play baseball. You don’t have to be tall like a basketball player or strong like an American footballer. You just need to want to have fun.

Baseball is not as fast a game as basketball. But when you go to see a game there’s time to relax, talk and get to know other people.

Baseball may not be the most popular sport in the US, but it is the most traditional (傳統(tǒng)的). It’s not just a game any more, but a key part of American culture, like apple pie and grandma’s house.
