I’m going to say it, “Field of Dreams,” is a terribly overrated.

Field of Dreams is not a masterpiece. It is a nice movie. And it is amazing how a corn field can attract so many people.

About 8,000 Outlanders on hand for this one.

 

Gene Honda is on the PA here. Makes it even cooler!

Ew this camera angle

Let’s fucking go Lance!

Is it just me or is this camera set up a bit weird?

That was a strike

After being postponed in 2020, Major League Baseball's Field of Dreams Game is set for Thursday at in Dysersville, Iowa at a specially-constructed ballpark in the cornfields next to the movie site.

About 8,000 fans will be on hand to watch the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox in the first MLB game ever played in the state of Iowa.

"I’m looking forward to just being a kid in a candy store," said Dwier Brown, who played Ray Kinsella's father in the 1989 film, selected in 2017 for the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

 

Time: 7 p.m. EST

Who is playing in the Field of Dreams game?

The Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees face off in the game on Thursday with the White Sox as the "home" team. The teams will have a day off Friday and then play Saturday and Sunday in Chicago to finish the three-game set.

What time is the Field of Dreams game?

The 2021 Field of Dreams game is at 7 p.m. EST on Thursday, August 12.

What are Field of Dreams Game stadium dimensions?

The field in Iowa is 335 feet down the lines, 400 feet to center and 380 feet in the alleys. By comparison, the White Sox's home ballpark – Guaranteed Rate Field – is 330 to left, 335 to right and 400 to center.

I am glad they put some serious bleach on the Black Sox.

Not used to it being this close. Also the pitcher is in the way. 

Does Lance Lynn remind anyone else of Lamar Hoyt?

Glad they’re still pumping in shitty music 

Damn Yankees.

A game like this definitely favors the away team. They get first dibs and can feed off the emotion.

Coincidence?

Can't stand Joe Buck by the way. 

Lance gonna throw thirty pitches this inning

15 minutes in, one at bat completed.

Len and DJ not too far ahead of the TV Broadcast, TV on mute for me.

He was great today as Jeopardy host

Another mild annoyance is that Gene Honda is in the building and they had Buck do the intros

I don't like how close the CF camera is zoomed in.
