Palm Springs, Calif. - The California Winter League (CWL) is proud to announce “Across the Aisle Day,” a unique non-partisan event scheduled for Saturday, January 24th, at historic Palm Springs Stadium. The event will feature two prominent 2026 California Gubernatorial candidates: Chad Bianco (R) and Ian Calderon (D).
The afternoon’s festivities will be moderated by special guest emcee Tim O’Brien of NBC Palm Springs. The ceremonial first pitch is scheduled for 12:20 PM, leading into a 12:30 PM matchup between the Canada A’s and the Palm Springs Power.
