Brown on the Air: Hot Stove League

This week, the Saturday morning 91.7 KAXE call-in and music show “Between You and Me” explores “hot stove league,” or, in layman’s terms, sports talk in the winter.

Scott Hall and Fred Friedman will guest host the 10 a.m. to noon program. Their sports expertise is second to none; both can cite statistics for 1950s baseball players who are not only irrelevant, but long dead. They’ll be filling in for host and producer Heidi Holtan, who knows as much about the science of the five man rotation as I do. Heidi will be steering clear of this wreckage but I’m the son of junk merchants and can’t resist. My weekly essay will explore how Nintendo Wii is making uncoordinated, deceptively lumpy people like myself into next year’s hot sports prospects. I have two missions. The first, as always, is to inform, entertain and honor the traditions of my Iron Range people. The second will be to confuse and/or confound Scott and Fred in a way that will not confuse or confound the listener. Tune in to hear the results!

You can listen to “Between You and Me” Saturday between 10 a.m. and noon on 91.7 FM in northern Minnesota and streaming online everywhere at www.kaxe.org.
