Description

This son of Greek immigrants was a genuine star and “man among boys” starting in his mid-teens while playing semi-professional baseball against former major leaguers in Lynn, Massachusetts. Coached and counseled by his older brother, Jimmy, and Lynn Classical High School coach/mentor Bill Joyce, Agganis excelled as a three-sport star (baseball, football, basketball) and was once described by legendary Notre Dame football coach Frank Leahy as “the greatest high school football prospect I’ve ever seen.” Though his athletic talent was nothing less than dazzling, it was Agganis’ personal values, good humor, and integrity that made him truly special. After all, this was an athlete that hated the media spotlight and once asked reporter Red Hoffman to stop writing headlines about him to which Hoffman replied “Then you’ll have to stop throwing touchdowns.” Unfinished Odyssey, The Life and Legend of Harry Agganis celebrates the many dimensions of the all-too-short but remarkable life and athletic career of the greatest all-around athlete ever to emerge from sports-mad New England. This book combines contemporary newspaper and magazine reporting with a collection of more than 200 photographs and illustrations drawn from the comprehensive family scrapbooks kept by Harry’s sister Mary and her husband Tony Raimo. Unfinished Odyssey reveals the true greatness of Agganis the athlete, celebrity, and gentleman while capturing the essence of what made him both an unforgettable competitor as well as a beloved native son.
