Captains Hot Stove Dinner January 19th

The Lake County Captains will host its seventh annual Hot Stove Dinner on Monday January 19 from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Classic Park. The event will feature a silent auction, a buffet dinner and opportunity for fans to meet top prospects from the Cleveland Indians organization.

The event coincides with the Indians Winter Development Program, which brings the Indians top prospects to Cleveland for off-season training in the Cleveland area. Fans at the Hot Stove dinner will have the opportunity to meet former Captains players and other top Cleveland Indians prospects, as well as members of the Indians Player Development Department. The players will sign autographs and be a part of question and answer session. Among the players who attended last year were former Captains Jeff Stevens, Ryan Goleski, and Kevin Dixon as well as top Tribe farmhand Jordan Brown.

A silent auction of various Captains and Indians memorabilia will also be held during the evening, with 100% of the auction proceeds benefiting Captains Charities, an official 501(c)3 organization that serves as the charitable arm of the baseball club.

Fans will enter the event, which is held in the batting cage building at Classic Park, through the Captains home clubhouse. The buffet dinner will include cavatelli with Italian sausages, boneless chicken wings, bratwurst with sauerkraut and a gourmet dessert station and ice cream sundae bar. An assortment of non-alcoholic beverages is included as well. A limited selection of alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at a cash bar.
