MLB history: Celebrating Pi Day throughout the game
By David Hill
In honor of Pi Day, let us take a look at the instances of that famous number throughout MLB history.
With today being March 14, we are celebrating the unofficial holiday of Pi Day. It is a day where math lovers and those who enjoy numbers celebrate the most famous irrational number, marking 3.14 with pies and pizza. It is a truly fun day.
Over the course of MLB history, there is reason to celebrate Pi Day as well. From players named Pi or Pie, to those players who had achieved the number 314 or 3.14 over the course of their careers, today is a day where their careers can be celebrated as well. It is a day where that number can truly shine.
As we sit back and enjoy our pizza and pie, and maybe watch a few old Three Stooges clips where pies are being thrown about, let us take the time to look back through the years, and remember those players that can regard today as a special day as well. Let us remember their accomplishments, either for a season or over their entire careers, because today is about anything related to the numbers 3, 1, and 4.
Let us begin by looking back at those players in MLB history with that gloriously irrational name.
