9-9-9

It's 9-9-09... and many are dressing to the nines!
So why not get in on the act?
After all, you're unlikely to experience another single-digit date in your lifetime. The next one won't roll around for 92 years -- until 1/1/2101.

Those who like to play with numbers will have a field day on 09/09/09.
The date falls on a Wednesday in September, both of which have 9 letters.
September 9 also is the 252nd day of the year. 2+5+2
In addition, if you multiply a single-digit number by 9, the resulting two digits add up to 9. Consider: 8x9

Take me out to the ballgame
The number 9 abounds here. There are 9 innings (before extra innings), 9 players at a time on a team, 90 feet between bases and nine strikes per inning, 27 (9+9+9) outs per team in a regular-length game and 9 was the uniform number of Ted Williams.

Tweet away ...
Republicans are asking Twitter users to log on at 9 p.m. ET for what is being billed as the "largest Twitter tea party ever."
