Description

Good Enough to DreamRoger 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

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.

Great Option for older, beginner workouts
Color: Gray, Style: Yoga Mat
I am a 54-year-old woman with multiple issues dealing with my weight, knees, and hips. The support of this particular mat is thick enough that there is no pain when being on my knees or lying down. It does not pinch your pressure points, causing pain as a thinner mat would. I am very pleased with the quality of this mat; it feels durable and I do not worry about my flopping around and destroying it while I learn the proper positions I need for my exercises. The length and width is sufficient for my 5 foot 11 inch height and extra girth. I was not looking for anything in particular in terms of design or color, as I prefer functionality, and this is to be used at home as a beginner mat while I start my exercise program.

Great Quality Mat for the Price
Color: Gray, Style: Yoga Mat, Color: Gray, Style: Yoga Mat
After burning through several cheap mats that curled, bunched, or wore out within weeks, this one finally got it right. The 1/2-inch high-density foam provides real cushioning, my knees and wrists feel the difference immediately, and it holds its shape without feeling unstable during balance poses. Grip is solid on hardwood and carpet alike, and the included carry strap is a small but genuinely useful touch that makes hauling it to the gym effortless. It's a bit bulky for travel, but for home or gym use it's hard to beat at this price. The quality speaks for itself, this feels like a mat built to last. Highly recommend.

This is very good
Color: Purple, Style: Yoga Mat, Color: Purple, Style: Yoga Mat
It’s a really good size and quite soft; the only downside is that I think it’s a bit pricey. It’s a good option if you don’t have other choices, but if you can find something better, do so.
