À propos du livre
In the spring of 1972, the Punahou Varsity Baseball team embarked on a three month journey towards immortality.
The roster of 21, led by a determined Senior Class, and buoyed by a group of talented underclassmen, flourished under their young, innovative rookie head coach, who empowered them to be themselves, to take chances, to play hard, to have fun, and most importantly, to love each other.
The result was an undefeated regular season and and Interscholastic League of Honolulu title, followed up by the greatest performance in the history of the Hawaii State Baseball Tournament. On April 29, 1972, Glenn Goya, backed by a handful of stellar defensive plays, pitched a nine inning Perfect Game in the State Tournament Final in front of 2,500 fans at the mythical Old Honolulu Stadium.
Fifty years later, the team has reconvened to celebrate their historic season.
Through written submissions, photos, and live interviews, they try to explain, in their own words, what it was like to be on that magical ride, and help us figure out how a group of fifteen to eighteen year olds combined the skill, focus, and unity required to achieve a feat of such legendary proportions.
