Description
In this candid and affectionate account, a celebrated sportswriter steps beyond the press box to own and operate the Utica Blue Sox, an independent minor-league baseball team. Over the course of a season, he encounters players chasing major-league dreams, coaches and staff navigating limited resources, and a community bound together by its love of the game. Blending behind-the-scenes observation with vivid portraits of perseverance, ambition, disappointment, and loyalty, the book explores what baseball means when the stakes are personal rather than professional. Roger Kahn’s graceful, humane storytelling reveals the enduring power of dreams—even when they are only good enough to carry a player through one more season.
