I believe Troy’s dream is denied. Throughout the story, Troy mentions about his baseball dream. One of the few examples Troy gave is when Rose pleads for him to let Cory play and Troy said he didn’t want Cory to experience what he did with sports. What Troy mean is he doesn’t want Cory to waste his time on a hopeless dream like he did in baseball. I also noticed how Troy dislikes how the white folks treated and restricted his race. His love for the game is very apparent in how the people around him all mention the game and how he has a ball tied to the tree in his yard even to the end. There is also the way he describes the restrictions and treatment of his race with such vigor tones. It shows how Troy blames the white people for his misfortune
