palehose1 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I’m a long time season ticket holder and called my rep to see what he knew about tickets and he said this is an mlb run event and the White Sox will not be selling tickets. He said more details at a later date. I’m guessing with high demand and realistically just several thousand tickets available mlb may do some sort of lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to know what Ron can expect from Abreu I expect Abreu to be on a team that is neither the White Sox nor the Yankees. Wherever he is, I'm sure he'll be cursing Rick Hahn for not bringing him back (with half a tin in his lip, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I will be in the corporate tent at FoD. Of course the old unis will be featured by the team that started the wayback machine in 1990. TA was posing in one for the promo. I think the Yanks used to wear Yankees in print on their old roadies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think losing half of their roster in the gambling scandal had a lot to do with that? It shouldn't take 40 years to recover but 15 years probably was reasonable in a 16 team MLB, where the regular season meant everything.

Just put a few rows of corn in the OF concourse and play the Yankees at home. Does anyone really care about playing on a fake field from a movie 30 years ago? If the Sox are actually good next year, they are sacrificing a huge gate for nonsense. Christ almighty, bah humbug to you as well. lol Yes, this is very unique and I love it. Combines a fictional/fantasy masterpiece about a love for the game of baseball with the real thing. What kind of a devoted contrarian does it take to not love this? You're really complaining about the "gate" it will cost the White Sox for one game? lol. Goodness gracious. Bah humbug, indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't sign Encarnacion to DH, he's probably the best option. As long as he is mostly DH'ing and out of the third spot and signs for cheap, I'm good with him coming back.

However, I don't exactly get the feeling that TMZ is going to find the event worthy enough to unleash their paparazzi all over Dyersville. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grinder Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 As close as I am to Dubuque (or Dyersville) never made the journey over there as of yet. And Ive had 30 years to do so 😣 But I did like the movie as cheesy as it got at times..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in 2012, with the entire family, on the way home from a wedding in Iowa and it was a must stop to see. Just happened that there were 4 other Sox fans on the field at the time who pitched to the grandkids while I played a little left field. Had my picture taken about a half foot into the corn stalks in right field, but didn't see anyone in there. Of course had to buy my "Field of Dreams T-shirt and mug. A great memory!! Forgive my reminiscing. I'll be watching. Edited November 30, 2019 by Saufley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are looking like they’re gonna be even scarcer than originally estimated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
