BRIDGEPORT, CT – Famous 50s Diner, 472 Huntington Turnpike in Bridgeport, will host Shelton author and baseball fanatic, Chris Gallo, Sunday, Dec. 7th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at a special 25th anniversary celebration of the 1989 Trumbull Little League champions along with all area little leaguers and their families. Gallo has also extended an invitation to members and coaches of the 1989 Little League champions.
Gallo, a CPA turned author, wrote a commemorative book about the 1989 Trumbull champions entitled, Unlikely Champions: Miracle at Williamsport. He will be signing and selling copies of the book and donating a portion of proceeds to an area charity, according to Pedro Sanchez of Bridgeport, Conn., co-owner and manager of Famous 50s Diner. A baseball fanatic since 1958, Gallo will gladly share any and all baseball stories with customers.
“We’re very excited to have Chris join us on December 7th,” said Sanchez. “I come from a baseball family and we’re hoping that some of the players or coaches from the 1989 team and certainly current little leaguers and coaches will join us that morning. A lot of our customers are from Trumbull, so we hope they will join us as well. This book can be a great stocking stuffer and we’ll be keeping some books on hand through the holidays.”
“I remember how much pride there was in the State of Connecticut and really all of New England when Trumbull won the Little League World Series in 1989,” said ESPN commentator Chris Berman in his foreword to the book...“I remember watching these youngsters running around the field in their forest green jerseys, celebrating. The joy you saw on their faces is a reminder to everyone that the Little League World Series is still pure. It’s fun. It’s competition. It’s baseball. It’s America. Everything was right with it, and I was proud to be from Connecticut.”
