Hot stove league - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hot Stove League is a baseball-related term, referring to the off-season. Therefore, it is not actually a "league", but the term instead calls up images of baseball fans, anxious for the start of the new season, gathering around a hot stove during the cold winter months discussing their favorite baseball teams.

I didn't know what it meant either, so I looked it up. I had heard the term many times before, but never bothered to learn.
