Baseball--it’s just a word, but for millions of Americans, ①it brings to mind so many images: hot dogs, cold beers, sunny after-noons…

For many people, baseball is the game of fathers and sons. Fathers and sons have been playing catch with each other on lawns (草坪) 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 school, friends exchange baseball cards. ②about, baseball, famous, are, students, by, players, talked, often.

③Baseball players are known as “the boys of summer” because the sport is most often played in summer. 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 football player. You just need to want to have fun.

Baseball is not as fast-paced (快節(jié)奏的) as basketball. 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. It’s not just a game anymore, but a key part of American culture, like apple pie.
