About this title: Roger Kahn's first major league hit was a grand slam: 'The Boys of Summer', his runaway bestseller that immortalised 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.

"Roger Kahn is a great writer. I have now read three of his books and loved each of them. This one holds a special place in my heart, though, because it is about the minor league team in Utica, New York. I grew up outside of Utica, in Clinton, so I'm always delighted when I read about this area in a book. I was intrigued by the fact that all the other readers who have listed this book that I can see are men. Not that I mind being the only woman, but this is great writing!!! It's too bad that more people aren't reading it."
