The chosen few who made it'and the many who only dreamed of it'find themselves as teammates and contemporaries. The result is golden.Entertaining, engaging, funny, and heartwarming, Big League Dream is Roy Berger's paean to a game he loves and grew up with in a time when heroes were untainted and true blue. Through his attempts to play ball again on the fantasy camp circuit, Berger met, talked to, and shared beers with players who had touched greatness and who had played with others now enshrined in Cooperstown.Big League Dream is the next-best thing to sitting down with Maury Wills, Bill Mazeroski, Mudcat Grant, and other greats of the game from the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s, and hearing stories few'if any'have ever heard.A business executive by vocation but a writer by instinct, Berger has a talent for putting people at ease and letting them talk. Big League Dream is the result.Big League Dream, with the Foreword written by Yankees hero Bucky Dent, is the next-best thing to sitting down with Maury Wills, Bill Mazeroski, Mudcat Grant, and other greats of the game from the 1950s, ?60s, ?70s, and ?80s, and hearing stories few'if any'have ever heard.
