The thing I would most want to do at a baseball game is not sing the National Anthem, not do the 7th inning stretch or throw the first pitch, I would love to yell ...."PLAY BALL!."

" It’s spring fever - you don’t know what it is you want, but it fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so. "
--Mark Twain

April 1997 issue of Popular Science...
If Einstein were interested in baseball, he would not have been able to formulate a principle for how a knuckleball breaks. With fluid dynamics in the turbulent region, you can write down the equations, but the equations cannot be solved.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. ~A. Bartlett Giamatti, "The Green Fields of the Mind,"
