Newtonian physics still works for baseball. Newtonian and Einsteinian physics are false only insofar as they are incomplete. Quantum Physics offers deeper truths that are more complete but if you're going to figure out the trajectory of a baseball ... doing quantum calculations is probably overkill, no?
