A game of catch is not difficult at all. The two people throw a ball back and forth（来回地掷球）. It seems a little boring. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch(触碰）.

In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice. It's a popular game. Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. Outside cities, most people have backyards（后花园）not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch.

But any American kid will tell you it's much more than a game. Playing catch is a time to be with your father. It's a time when there's nothing to worry about except catching a ball. When they play it, words move together with the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing（放松）.

Kids and dads spend time together. The game can be good memories(记忆) of dads. Why? Dads are usually very busy. But there is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.
