Answer - A ball game

In Chapter 10 of the 1937 novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God which was authored by Zora Neale Hurston, an African-American writer, we find that most of the town went to a baseball game, leaving Janie alone at the store. Because of this, Janie decided to close up the store early but before she could, a tall stranger came to the store to buy cigarettes from her and then starts making flirtatious small talk with her, making her laugh with his jokes.
