If you search on DL's posts, you will see that this was not, in fact, his fourth post of the day, it was his only post of the day (12-03-04). I think this means the number four is significant. Not that you should find three other posts with clues.
"Looking to John Neun" could mean look at a picture of J. N. (as several have suggested) or to look up Johnny Neun, the baseball player (as others have suggested).
In order for Dave to have used an obscure picture on CD as a clue (say the number 5 on a pipe or the fact that J.N. is standing in front of a paper machine), he would either have to know that such a picture existed or he would have had to troll through the CD picture gallery for hours to find such a coincidence. So, I doubt that the CD picture is the referenced clue.
However, Johnny Neun, as a first baseman, completing an unassisted triple play for Detroit in the 1920's might be something that Dave would be familiar with. And, due to Dave's long time familiarity with CD, the coincidence of Johnny Neun's name with John Neun and John V. Neun would be expected. Hence, if Dave is pointing us toward the unassisted triple play, he would pick Johnny Neun instead of, say, Raphael Furcal, the most recent person to complete an unassisted triple play.
What is the unique feature of the unassisted triple play? One defender eliminates three offensive players.
This leads me to believe that there will be four safe zones (or bases). We will have one defender facing three opponents.
Combining this with the Championship eligibility criteria that there will be three (3) regional champions and Car Nack's prediction

leads me to believe that the 2v2 competition from the past few years will not be repeated in 2005.
