In the book by Vannevar Bush, "Science is Not Enough," (Wm. Morrow Co., New York, 1967),

Dr. Bush (often called the "father of hypertext," and a distant relative of Dubya) devotes and essay to baseball, entitled "When Bat Meets Ball." There he makes the claim that Baseball is not a scientific game. On page 216 he writes:

"no one knows how an outfielder can take a look at a fly ball, run to the exactly the right spot, and look up just in time to catch it . . . a feat that many good players can perform.

Some of us believe that Dr. Bush was overly pessimistic about our ability to understand things.
