For the second straight year, BlogTalkRadio will feature 24 hours of baseball talk for charity this weekend, put on by FantasyPros911.com and BaseballDigest.com.

Paul Greco and Lenny Melnick of Fantasy Pros 911 created the event last year and managed to raise $7,500 to fight cystic fibrosis. This year’s installment will benefit Operation Homefront, which provides aid to returning soldiers and military families.

“It’s just a privilege to be a part of something so close to my heart,” Greco, an Air Force veteran, said in the media release. “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.”

BTR’s Fantasy Sports Channel also teamed up with Sigmund Bloom and Cecil Lammey of Footballguys.com in August for a football edition of the talk-a-thon, which also raised money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

As part of this second baseball event, FantasyPros911.com is offering a free one-year premium subscription to anyone who donates $25 or more. In addition, $3 from every purchase of the children’s book “A Glove of Their Own” will go to the cause — as long as you enter the code OHF-526 when you buy it.

The show begins at noon on Saturday and runs until noon Sunday on The Fantasy Sports Channel.

A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.

– We provided a short report Wednesday on CBS Sports winning the 2009 football rankings Accuracy Challenge, run by the Fantasy Football Librarian. Well, here’s much more information on the competition and the finishers via the Librarian’s post on The New York Times’ “Fifth Down” blog. A full list of participants can be found on the FF Librarian blog.

– KFFL didn’t win any of the Accuracy Challenge categories but did finish an impressive second in both the baseball and football stat-projection portions. Aside from making sure that everyone was aware of that, KFFL’s Nicholas Minnix took the time to name the various people who have contributed.

– The BlogTalkRadio folks have reason to be happy after their Fantasy Sports Channel took home two Fantasy Sports Trade Association awards at the winter conference in Las Vegas this week.

– I would never classify myself as a “gamer,” so the Blood Bowl concept doesn’t really appeal to me. That isn’t to say, of course, that a gory football game featuring orcs and other fantasy creatures isn’t interesting. It also can’t hurt Kyle Turley to have another league in which he qualifies.
