July 6, 2018 Happy Friday! This is another short & sweet post. At Mistletoe Enterprises LLC and Victory & Valor, we recognize that summertime - especially around the Fourth of July - can be full of outdoor activities, leisure, and relaxing with family & friends. We hope your Fourth of July was fun and safe. And we hope it was memorable! Back in 2006 - 2007, when Victory & Valor was in its premier year, we covered numerous high-profile sporting events. We covered the Army-Navy football classics both years. In 2007 we reported from the sidelines of the Notre Dame - Navy game in which Navy beat Notre Dame at South Bend for the first time in more than forty years. Then we were back in South Bend to witness the Air Force Academy knock-off the Irish days later. Additionally, we had press credentials for the Lansing Lugnuts that season. Throughout the summer we saw many games... and some old stars of the game, as well as future Major Leaguers. When the Peoria Chiefs came to town, we spotted Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg (pictured) as their manager and coaching at third base. And from the Lugnuts roster, we watched future Major League left-fielder for Toronto, Pittsburgh and Baltimore: Travis Snider. And we saw a lot of great entertainment. Among the favorite games was their July 4th contest against South Bend when they secured a 4-3 win with a fireworks finish! The video below is a favorite of mine... hope you enjoy it too! Have a great weekend! See you back here Monday!
