The Iowa West Foundation recently launched a program to celebrate some of the athletes from Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County who have achieved national recognition in various sports.  Twenty-four athletes were recognized as inaugural members of the new Council Bluffs Professional Sports Roster.  Each honoree is recognized with a banner that will be permanently displayed at the Iowa West Field House in Council Bluffs.  Writer and researcher Brian Mainwaring contributed much of the material used during the induction ceremony and now shares those insights and career highlights in the latest episode of our podcast. The episode highlights the sixteen Professional Sports Roster inductees whose careers included baseball and football, with additional sports to be featured in a future installment.
