Summary:

"In 2002, Tabitha Soren began photographing the draft class for the Oakland A's-their lives on the road, and the grueling work behind the scenes required to make it to the major leagues. Soren has continued to photograph them ever since, documenting their divergent paths through success, heartbreak, and, sometimes, even fame. Accompanied by five linked short stories by Dave Eggers, 'Fantasy Life' explores the enduring spirit of this quintessential American fantasy of making it in the major leagues"--Back cover.
