New Arrival: Maui Ahuna, ss, San Francisco Giants
New Arrival: Maui Ahuna, ss, San Francisco Giants … Maui Ahuna is from Hilo, but I never got him while he was in high school since I was not paying too close attention to Hawaii prep players at the time. He is one of the big reasons I have started[…]
