Green Giants: A Journey to a State Championship

In the summer of 2001, a group of twelve kids from Green, Ohio, set out with one goal: win the Hot Stove State Championship. What followed was a season to remember—44 wins, only 2 losses, and a perfect league record. This book takes you inside that unforgettable run, from big wins and close calls to quirky rituals and hilarious moments still told decades later. You’ll meet the players, coaches, and parents who made it all possible, and see how a team of twelve-year-olds built lifelong friendships while chasing a dream. Part baseball story, part time capsule, Green Giants: The Journey to a State Championship is about teamwork, growing up, and remembering the good old days long after they’re gone.
