Back to baseball! After all the political advertisements vanish from the airwaves Wednesday, baseball returns with the weekly Reds Hot Stove Leagueseason premiere 6 p.m. on WSAI-AM (1360) from the Holy Grail Banks.

Thom Brennaman and Jim Day will kick off the winter series with Phil Castellini, Reds chief operating officer, talking about the club's season-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the 1869 Cincinnati Reds Stockings, the first all-professional baseball team.

All shows until spring training will be broadcast live on Wednesdays from the Holy Grail. The show moves to WLW-AM next week, on Nov. 14. Three of the 21 shows will air on WSAI-AM due to basketball conflicts on Reds flagship WLW-AM.
