Roger Kahn's first major league hit was a grand slam: "The Boys of
Summer," his runaway bestseller that immortalized the 1950s
Brooklyn Dodgers. Now Kahn does the same for players whose moment
in the sun has not yet arrived. "Good Enough to Dream" is the story
of his year as owner of the Class A, very minor league Utica Blue
Sox. Most of the Blue Sox will never make it to the majors, but
they all share the dream that links the small child in the sandlot
with the bonus baby who has just smacked one out of the stadium.
It's a dream Kahn learned from his father and, in the course of a
season, passes on to his daughter--hours of practice for a moment
of poetry; a hard living but a touch of legend.
"Good Enough to Dream" presents baseball unadorned, a game still
sweet enough to lure grown men to leagues where first-class
transportation is an old school bus and the infield is likely to be
the consistency of thick soup. It is a funny and poignant story of
one season and one special team that will make us hesitate before
we ever call anything "bush league" again.
