{"product_id":"good-enough-to-dream-9780803277793","title":"Good Enough to Dream","description":"Roger Kahn's first major league hit was a grand slam: \u003ci\u003eThe Boys of Summer\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003ci\u003eGood Enough to Dream\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Enough to Dream\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803277793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.32w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/27\/2000 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Roger Kahn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643696902300,"sku":"9780803277793","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_aaaf9c61-e660-4055-a7f4-70b80c698cee.jpg?v=1603857093","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/good-enough-to-dream-9780803277793","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
