Over the 6 years I’ve hosted Championship Thinking in Sports, I’ve directly included shows that link youth, sports and services of our military and first responders as well as referencing my involvement in events that ensure we honor and remember those who have and continue to serve us. In this show I am delighted to do so again with guests Naren Aryal, author, publisher, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mascot Books and Terry “Crash” Allvord, combat veteran who founded Heroes of the Diamond and over fifty single service armed forces baseball teams in the modern era. The power of this show is its clear message simplicity of how families can combine being together, enjoying baseball and thanking those that protect our safety and freedoms. Terry tells the story behind his recent children’s book, Heroes of the Diamond and the historic Red, White and Blue cross-country tour with the Ground Zero Flag which will culminate 9-11-11 in New York City.
