BANGOR – Boston Red Sox minority owner Les Otten and former New York Yankee manager Carl “Stump” Merrill will be featured at the annual Husson College Hot Stove Banquet on Sunday, Jan. 23 at 11:30 a.m. at the Campus Center in Peabody Hall.

“We’re going to have a Yankee-Red Sox banter session involving Stump Merrill and [Yankee fan] Al Hackett against Les Otten and [Red Sox fan] George Hale,” said Husson College baseball coach John Winkin. “It’s going to be fun. We want to take advantage of the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry.”
