On February 27 and 28 Baseball Digest, FantasyPros911.com and BlogTalkRadio.com join forces for the second annual 24-Hour Talk-a-Thon. Last year’s show was an industry first, raising over $7,500 for Cystic Fibrosis. This year baseball writers and the fantasy sports industry team up to help Operation Homefront.  The Talk-a-Thon features guests from Major League Baseball, including Hall of Famers Robin Yount, as well as a host of current and former players, managers, coaches, scouts, radio personalities, and more.

 

The Talk-a-Thon is the invention of Lenny Melnick and Paul Greco, a 10-year Air Force veteran, Vice-President of FantasyPros911.com, and Partner of BaseballDigest.com :

 

"It's just a privilege to be a part of something so close to my heart.  Operation Homefront is a great organization providing a great service for many of my friends and their families still in the service.  It's an opportunity for an entire industry to give back to the troops who make it possible for all of us to play a game we love." -- Paul Greco

With help from Bob Salomon and “A Glove of Their Own,” who will donate $3 to Operation Homefront for every book sold with the Charity code OHF-526, baseball fans around the world will have the opportunity to help our troops and their families.

The 24-Hour Talk-A-Thon will stream live at BlogTalkRadio : http://www.thefantasysportschannel.com/talkathon/
