"Pins" ties into "Ninepins," a popular bowling event, also one of the more common gauges of needle, but no one really knows that one, the scrum half of a rugby team usually sports the number nine, and "nineball" is the most common format of billiards, related, of course, to pool.
the number nine is, in many tenants of numerology, the sign of depth, meaning, and mystery, as well as the signifier of change and division (after nine, every number has 2 or more symbols, not just one) similarly, it's also the sign of transition to destruction, as they symbols in a base 10 system go from 8, to nine, back to zero again.
