Corvallis Knights to Host First Annual Hot Stove Night.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Brent Morel (pictured) and Miami Marlins scout Gabe Sandy will be the featured speakers at the Corvallis Knights first Hot Stove Night, scheduled for Wednesday, January 18, in the Omaha Room at Goss Stadium.

Admission is free; the event starts at 7 p.m. and will feature a panel discussion to include Morel, Sandy and Knights' team president Dan Segel. All three will answer questions from the audience; Morel will be available for autographs afterward.

Morel played for the Knights in 2006 and 2007, after his freshman and sophomore seasons at Cal Poly, and was the team's 2006 MVP. He was drafted by the White Sox in 2008, made his MLB debut in 2010, and hit .245, with 10 homers and 41 RBIs, as a full-time starter as a rookie this past season.

Sandy coached for the Knights and at Mt. Hood CC before joining the Marlins.

He is the team's Northwest area scout.

After the event, all guests are invited to a no-host social at the Hilton Garden Inn's Stadium Grill.

The event is limited to 100 guests. To reserve a spot, RSVP to Knights' public relations director Brooks Hatch at [email protected].
