About the book
Witness history in the making with this hardcover collector’s book
The Golden State Valkyries have shattered every expectation, transforming Chase Center into “Ballhalla” where 18,000 voices roar as one. From Kate Martin’s electrifying three-pointers to Veronica Burton’s masterful command of the court, this inaugural season has been pure magic. The San Francisco Chronicle captures every thrilling moment in this exclusive 128-page hardcover commemorative book.
This is your piece of Bay Area basketball history and a Valkyries fan’s must-have keepsake. Through stunning photography and insider stories from the Chronicle, you’ll relive the standing ovations and hard-fought wins, the birth of Violet the Raven and all the moments that made you believe. Whether you’ve been screaming from the stands or cheering the Valks at home, this book preserves Golden State’s historic debut season and shows what a WNBA expansion team can achieve.
Own the story of how the Bay Area fell in love with the Valkyries and a new basketball dream took flight.
