13．When I was young，it wasn't the parental love that filled my thoughts in the spring．It was baseball．
I loved everything about the game-the crack of a bat，the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass，even watching the games on our old black-and-white TV．Yet looking back now，nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual （老規矩） of playing catch with my dad．
Dad was never much of a baseball fan，but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air，he would grab his old mitt （棒球手套） and head out to the yard with me just the same．There was something beneficial about playing catch with him，the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air，and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting．We may have been 50feet apart，but the flight of that ball connected us，forming as strong a relationship as any father-son talk ever could have．
I was never the star of my Little League team，yet Dad never cared about that．Every year，he would be out there，waiting to field any false throw I sent his way．
As I grew older，I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship-that even if a problem didn't involve a glove and a ball，Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction．His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me-not only to my love of baseballl but also to my life．
I've often heard it said that"the devil is in the details．"Now I realize that in my relationship with my father，love was in the details．

解答 66．B 推理判斷題，根據第二段Yet looking back now，nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual （老規矩） of playing catch with my dad．可知現在回想起來沒有什么比我和爸爸玩接球更重要，當時作者沒有意識到這一點，因此可推知他沒有太在意父親的陪伴，故選B．
