By Josh: I didn’t grow up in the golden age of pitching in baseball. I never got to watch greats like Koufax, Gibson, Spahn, and so many other greats. I have been privileged to watch pitchers like Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez. However, two pitchers who pitched on Sunday are easily the two…
By Josh: It used to be that the phrase Manny being Manny would draw a smile and a laugh from baseball fans. Manny Ramirez was a great but very unusual baseball player. His antics were the talk of all of baseball for a time. However, now the term Manny being Manny brings on a negative…
For a while the 9 Inning Know It All group has been selling shirts to help get the word out about who we are and to draw more baseball fans attention. Today we start a special sale on pink shirts that we want to use to help raise awareness about breast cancer. Most if not…

Here is my run down of what I think the most important things that we have learned about each division. NL East “Surprise…..Maybe Not” Atlanta 13-6 Washington 11-9 NY Mets 10-9…
By Josh: The New York Mets season began on Monday and after three games they are 0-3. It is a disappointing start to the season, but their first opponent of the season, the Washington Nationals, isn’t just any team. However, the biggest news for the Mets to start the year is that their 2nd baseman,…
By Josh: (Here is a little peak into the mind of a desperate fan, mine.) The first couple days of every season can be deceiving for baseball fans. A team that starts off the season hot can give the impression that this is their year, even though everyone knows it isn’t. World Series contenders who…
With opening day officially done and every team having officially announcing their rosters and their injuries I am now ready and as confident as I’ll ever be to make my 2014 predictions.
