I’m really excited to have a chance to ask Brian Hunter a few questions. Brian played all or part of nine seasons in Major League Baseball between 1991 and 2000 for the Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies. While he was primarily a first baseman, he also appeared in nearly 100 games as an outfielder. Your homerun in…
By Scott Sepich: As I sit in the press box scoring games each night, the public address announcer who sits to my left asks me often about different scenarios that happen during a game. To not protect his identity at all, we’ll call him “Michael.” Most of Michael’s ideas revolve around things like a rogue…
I know for the 9 Inning Know It All crew we get a little anxious at the start of each month because we want to see where we are in the MLB Fan Blog rankings. A couple months ago we slipped in the rankings, which caused the crew to really focus on getting the word…
By Kelly: Continued from The Streak Days 5-9 If there was ever any question about how I feel about baseball I hope this changes that. Over a 16 day period in July I spent every day at different ballparks between watching as a spectator, playing slow-pitch softball men’s and coed and umping slow-pitch softball. Here’s…

9 Inning Know It All Empire part 1 9 Inning Know It All Empire part 2 By Josh: Where We Are Now I can’t believe just how active the 9 Inning Empire is at this point. Along with Kelly, Norm and myself the empire has another regular writer in Trevor Winsor. Trevor played college baseball…
Continued from 9 Inning Know It All Empire Part 1 of 3 By Josh: The Team I knew that people would get tired of just reading my thoughts and opinions so I had to branch out and find others with the same passion and knowledge for baseball that I had. I interacted with Norm Ordaz…
By Josh: The Beginning Most people don’t realize the truth behind what sparked me to start the 9 Inning Empire. Although I love baseball and do enjoy writing my thoughts, the real reason was to prove that I could effectively do social media and blogging better than another individual. This person’s level of ineffectiveness and…
By Trevor: The game of baseball has many different approaches to it. There isn’t a one “cookie cutter” type of player. The approaches range from boarder-line insanity to very calm and collected. A few weeks ago I was at the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes game and they were playing the Vancouver Canadians. The Canadians first baseman, Jordan…
By Norm: I should have taken Josh up on the offer to go to Eugene tonight. But, I decided to go to Volcanoes Stadium for Don Larsen night. I should have known better. I’ve lost count of how many I have been through. For those of you who don’t know who Don Larsen is, Larsen…
