Unlikely Champions: A Miracle in Williamsport celebrates the 25th anniversary of the most stunning upset in the history of the Little League World Series following the players now successful adults leaders and family men as they tell their inspirational stories and relate the life lessons they learned. Trumbull National Little League 's unlikely 5-2 victory over Taiwan in the 1989 Little League World Series evokes memories of a Little League miracle. Fifteen ordinary 12-year-old boys accomplished something extraordinary winning the hearts of sports fans across America in the process. As the Trumbull kids celebrated on the field the American-flag-waving crowd of 40000 chanted in earnest " USA! USA! " No one gave these Little Leaguers from a small town in Connecticut a chance to win. We pass along the legacy of the game of baseball by telling stories from fathers to sons and daughters grandfathers to grandsons and granddaughters one generation of fans to the next. It's why every game broadcast features a play-by-play announcer for the action and a color commentator to explain the game and share stories about it. The late A. Bartlett Giamatti often claimed that Baseball stories were at the heart of the appeal of our game. Christopher Gallo paperback
