Happy Pi Day! If you are not familiar with this fantastic holiday, it is observed on March 14, or 3/14, to celebrate the number pi, or 3.14 (and change). People usually celebrate Pi Day by ... well, by going to work, probably, because it's Friday. But they may also make math jokes and/or enjoy pies or other round-shaped foods.
Given that baseball is a game based around a sphere, whose dimensions are based on pi, it's only natural that MLB teams would get in on the fun. Here is your Pi Day Twitter roundup:

The Braves got close, with Jason Heyward giving each of his teammates a PiS4:

But the Cardinals, who are excellent at baseball, are not so good at Pi Day.
It's March 14, so we’re celebrating the 314 (see what we did there?) by giving away tickets with the @StLouisBlues & @StLouisRams. #TeamSTL
— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) March 14, 2014
No, no, no. Your area code is local. Pi is universal. You're doing it wrong.
We're celebrating St. Louis' 250th birthday with a Cardinals cake. Big thanks to artist Katherine Nelson! #stl250 pic.twitter.com/QKiCncXGgi

Dude, that's a cake, not a pie. I don't even ... whatever.
ESPN offered this statistical treat...
Happy Pi Day! Did you know? Last year, @Indians Matt Albers became only the 14th pitcher in #MLB history with an ERA of Pi.

Unfortunately, they were outdone by the NFL:

Sadly, there were no jokes made about Hall of Famer Pie Traynor. Get it together, Pittsburgh Pi-rates.
Happy Pi Day, everyone!
