The colorful story of Honolulu Stadium recalls a golden era when Honolulu was young and sport was king. During the historic half-century from 1927 to 1976, this landmark arena hosted high school football, the Triple-A Hawaii Islanders, the Hula Bowl, stock car racing, boxing matches, ethnic baseball leagues, sports heroes from Babe Ruth to Joe Louis, and big name entertainers from Irving Berlin to Elvis Presley. Includes hundreds of historic photos and rare memorabilia, as well as the priceless memories of athletes, coaches, fans and many others. With a foreword by sportscaster Al Michaels, this is the complete story of Honolulu Stadium--a classic American ballpark and the heart and soul of a community. Winner of the Hawaii Book Publishers Association award for excellence in non-fiction writing.
