Think ahead, fall back
The big weekend has arrived. Don't forget to turn back your clocks early Sunday morning. What's that? This weekend, you ask? Ohhh, you must have thought I was talking about the end of Daylight Savings Time? No, no, no. I was talking about a special edition of "The Baseball Show on KXNO," beginning an hour earlier, 4pm Central, this Sunday night.We'll be broadcasting live from the new KXNO skyline studios in downtown Des Moines. The Iowa Cubs follow with a 5:30 pre-game show, and the first pitch in New Orleans at 6:05.
Get your fill of the show this week. The I-Cubs have a doubleheader scheduled next Sunday, and after that, we'll be fighting the NFL broadcasts for air time. (Also, there's a good chance the internet link will be shut down after the I-Cubs' season ends.) See you there!

This week, Dusty Baker shared with the Chicago Tribune the advice he got from Hank Aaron as a young player about hitting against Cardinals' great Bob Gibson.
"Don't dig in," Aaron advised Baker, "He'll knock you down.
"Don't stare at him. He doesn't like it.
"If you hit a home run, don't run too slow, don't run too fast.
"If you happen to want to celebrate, get in the tunnel first.
"And if he hits you, don't charge the mound. Because he's a Golden Gloves boxer."
Other than that, have some fun out there.
