Abstract

A baseball fielder will arrive at the right place at the right time to catch a fly ball if he runs at the only constant velocity for which the rate of change of tangent of the elevation angle of the ball and the bearing angle of the ball both remain constant. Remarks are made concerning curve balls. Baseball is not a scientific game—although, unknown to the players, many principles of physics can be applied to it.
