But he ends up playing skidball-football with his old pal Frank (as they did when they were kids) under the empty stadium lights, sliding and careening in joy on the wet grass.

Ed & Mike play skidball. An invention of Rob's from his childhood. Check out the hose spraying. You're just waiting for them to yell "swordfight!"

Explanation:
Hoi Sandra,
Omdat het hier om een ouderwets (Amerikaans) spel gaat, is het misschien beter om het onvertaald te laten met een korte uitleg in het Nederlands erbij.

The game of Skidball is played with a regulation football on a wet field. Scoring methods and ground rules are still unclear.

Succes
Claudia
