Baseball in The Catcher in the Rye?

Recently I read  pages 75 - 81 in The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, and I strongly was aware to how young, and problematic main character was behaving. It's because of how Holden acted , when he was leaving towards New York by train. Holden founded  an Hotel, and had met a friend the worked there.

Holden took a cruise through New York and met a couple girls he that he  began talking to because of his personal emotion. One line from this part of the book that stands out for me is "All of a sudden, on my way out to the lobby. "I am fascinated about it because of the hurry, pacing on school work , and going to the next classes....etc.

Another line that I looked at multiple times "I ever showed allie's baseball mitt to." This stood out for me because It tell me that the story will be related to baseball based on the title and two other reason of incorpation.

This secton of The Catcher in the Rye reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I hanged out with a couple of friends, and playing baseball. Good times. Good times. What probably going to happen next will probably baseball related somehow.
