stickball

n. 棍子球(孩子们在街巷内玩的一种类似棒球的)游戏

All the while I could hear my buddies outside playing heated games of stickball. 练琴时，我总是听到伙伴们在外面玩棍球的嬉闹声。

The kids playing stickball gathered to curse the driver who had made them scatter, but now were watching with awestruck interest. 那些玩儿童棒球的孩子们刚才还咒骂那个把他们吓散了的司机，这时也在旁边看热闹，觉得又怕又有趣。
