Harrisburg, PA - The Harrisburg Senators are pleased to announce that their third annual Hot Stove Dinner is scheduled for Saturday, January 26th. The dinner is once again at the Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel. For the third year in a row, the dinner is supporting the Harrisburg Reviving Baseball in the Inner Cities (RBI) program.
