TORONTO — Victoria Pojrazov pulled her gaze away from the action on the field only once, and that was to show her progress on the tunic sweater she was knitting for a friend. As she sat in her usual spot behind the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen in left field — Section 137 at the Rogers Centre — during a recent game, Pojrazov’s fingers twirled through green yarn as if independent from the rest of her body.

“Some people eat peanuts,” she said. “I knit.”

Part of baseball’s beauty is its lack of a clock.
