Dobbins to Speak at Hot Stove Event
Charlotte, NC -- Peace College Head Softball Coach Charlie Dobbins will speak at the 2010 Greater Charlotte Area Hot Stove League Dinner Saturday, January 23, at the Carolinas Baseball Center. Mike Fox, the head baseball coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will deliver the keynote address to the over 500 guests expected to attend.

The baseball term hot stove refers to the time of year when players, managers, and fans discuss the summer game during the winter months. Even though air conditioning and furnaces replaced the iron stove as a source of heat, the term hot stove is still quite common in baseball vernacular.
