Major League Baseball Announces Game To Be Played On The Field Of Dreams Next Season

The partnership of baseball and cinema have given movie goers some fantastic stories over the years. A few films that come to mind is The Natural which starred Robert Redford,  Moneyball with Brad Pitt, and 42, the story of color barrier-breaker, Jackie Robinson. On the lighter side of things, the first Major League film, Bull Durham, A League of Their Own, and I bet you guys thought I was going to forget to mention The Sandlot.

However one baseball film stands out in my opinion, and that would be the magical and wonderous Field of Dreams. On paper, a baseball film that includes time travel doesn’t sound like it would work, however Costner’s Ray Kinsella will make you a believer.

Believe it or not, the field seen in the film still exists, and Major League Baseball plans to make use of it next year as the official MLB Twitter account announced yesterday that the Yankees and White Sox will play on the field next season. You can check out the post below.that features Yankees superstar Aaron Judge in a clever edit with the film.

Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Major League Baseball had the following to say in a statement.

“As a sport that is proud of its history linking generations, Major League Baseball is excited to bring a regular season game to the site of Field of Dreams. We look forward to celebrating the movie’s enduring message of how baseball brings people together at this special cornfield in Iowa.”

I can only wonder why this wasn’t done sooner. I’m neither a fan of the Yankees or the White Sox, my loyalties lie with the Trolley Dodgers of Brooklyn. However, this game is going to be fun to watch if the play ont he same basic field that is shown in the film. I still have interest in watching the games and hope that this becomes a tradition with different teams every year.
