By Josh: I don’t live in the most exciting city in America. It’s a mill town located about an hour north of Portland, OR and two hours south of Seattle, WA. There isn’t a huge selection of things to do. We have our bowling alley, our new movie theatre, a few good restaurants (but no…
Players who play all out all the time are always fun to watch. Michael Forgione is one of those players and getting the opportunity to talk to him about his baseball past, present and future was a lot of fun. Michael is the starting 3rd baseman for the Lower Columbia Red Devils and is committed…
One of my favorite things to do with the 9 Inning Know It All empire is to talk with players and fans about their stories in baseball. Who inspired them, where they have played and memories that they will never forget. I was excited to get the chance to talk with Tanner Olson, pitcher for…
I’m sure every baseball fan has heard and even weighed in on their thoughts about Kris Bryant, the way the Cubs held him down and what the future holds. I don’t want to dig into the controversial stuff right now, but I do want to tell you the story of my first introduction to the…

I’m not trying to over-dramatize it but baseball is so much more than a game or a sport or even, as it’s been labeled: America’s Pastime.
