In honor of “Pi Day” here is the VORG’s team of players with “pi” somewhere in their first or last name (not an all-inclusive list, as there are roughly 200 such names):
1B: Wally Pipp, Joe Pepitone
2B: Danny Espinosa, Jeff Keppinger
SS: Spike Owen, Rob Picciolo
3B: Pie Traynor, Pinky Higgins
OF: Felix Pie, Lou Piniella, Kevin Pillar, Vada Pinson, Juan Pierre
C: Mike Piazza, A.J. Pierzynski
P: Kevin Appier, Stolmy Pimentel, Dan Spillner, Michael Pineda, Joel Pineiro, Billy Pierce, Hipolito Pichardo, Frank DiPino, Nino Espinosa, Rocky Coppinger
Mgr.: Lip Pike (with Piniella and Higgins as player/coaches)
Pineda will make sure everyone is properly equipped with copious amounts of pi-ne tar.
If you ever decide to do a pi-stat team, you’ll want Mike Marshall as your closer. His career ERA was 3.141346154, deviating from the value of pi by 0.0002465, or 1/4056.8.
