All games are played at Palm Springs Stadium, the former spring training stadium of the Los Angeles Angels. The season&rsquo;s games will run from January 16 to February 20, with four or five games being played each day. The only off day in the season is February 2 &ndash; Super Bowl Sunday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&ldquo;The league is truly one of its kind,&rdquo; Broskowski said of his future league. &ldquo;It really gives players the opportunity to showcase themselves for scouts.&rdquo;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe league is for players passed over in the draft, been released, or just players who want to stay in playing shape during the offseason. Last season&rsquo;s players included the sons of baseball greats Roger Clemens and Ozzie Smith.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBroskowski will be one of the four people responsible for the media relations and broadcasting for the league. His duties will include: writing game recaps, writing feature stories, working with the local media, and broadcasting games.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn 2012, his first season in Rochester, Broskowski earned the award Northwoods League broadcaster of the year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&ldquo;It feels great to be rewarded for something that you dedicate your life to,&rdquo; Broskowski said of the award. &ldquo;All the thanks go to Kim and Dan for giving me an opportunity. They are great owners, and more importantly great people.&rdquo;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe was also ranked 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;in the nation among all college broadcasters in 2013 while at Western Illinois.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&ldquo;That was a huge honor for me and for my career,&rdquo; Broskowski said. &ldquo;It is not often that someone can be placed in the top 20 of something in the entire country.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(ROCHESTER, MN)&#8211;Rochester Honkers broadcaster Michael Broskowski has accepted media relations and broadcasting position with the California Winter League.&nbsp; &quot;I am  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news","category-update-ticker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Voice of Honkers Accepts Position with California Winter League!
