"What I'm about to tell you isn't a typical baseball story. I don't limp off the bench and hit a game-winning home-run in the World Series. I didn't throw a perfect game in my last ever start, nor do I mentor some bonus-baby with a million-dollar-arm and two-cent head so he can mature and make it to the big leagues. And I promise you that I don't end up playing catch with my dad in an Iowa cornfield at the end of this either." So Begins Kenny Beck's tale as he follows the dream of every every young boy, who hopes one day to play in the "Big" leagues. Even though his was a short-lived career, it taught Kenny a great deal about life and left him with the satisfaction of not saying "I wish I could play baseball in the big leagues," but "When I played in the big leagues."
