About The Book

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, who are now successful adults, leaders and family men, as they tell their inspirational stories and 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 11- and 12-year-old boys accomplished something extraordinary and won the hearts of American sports fans, stunning the mighty Taiwanese.  As the Trumbull kids celebrated on the field, the American-flag-waving crowd of 40,000 began chanting – USA!  USA!

No one gave these fifteen Little Leaguers from a small town in Connecticut a chance to win.

If you are the parent of a Little Leaguer who aspires to play on Williamsport’s Little League Field of Dreams for a world championship, then you need to read what these Unlikely Champions have to say to your ball player about achieving those dreams.

This is an American baseball story that has finally…and finely been told.
