It's "play catch" or "play some catch" not "have a catch".



Yeah, I think "have a catch" might be an East Coast thing. I've never knew anyone who said it before Field of Dreams came out.

I think in “War Of The Worlds” Tom Cruise asked his dip shit son to go have a catch.

I think even Spiegel said it as some point. Definitely an easy coast thing.

Spiegs has said it several times. Bugs the Christ out of me. Not even in the book. (To be fair, I don't think "play catch" is either.) However, that book has the best two opening paragraphs I have ever read in any book:

My father said he saw him years later playing in a tenth-rate commercial league in a textile town in Carolina, wearing shoes and an assumed name.

"He’d put on fifty pounds and the spring was gone from his step in the outfield, but he could still hit. Oh, how that man could hit. No one has ever been able to hit like Shoeless Joe.”
