Too bad Prince isn't around to re-release that one... https://www.mlb.com/news/commissioner-rob-manfred-on-field-of-dreams-game Seems they're already committed to having another Field of Dreams game in 2022, two new teams not yet announced...one would think the Cubs/Cardinals would be a distinct possibility, with the Brewers, Royals, Twins likely on the outside looking in. That said, the Cubs are going to be pretty terrible for the next 2-3 seasons so maybe they go with the Brewers vs. the Twins? Or possibly Brewers/Cards? Of course, that doesn't feel quite as "special" since they already play 19 times. Or they can go with coastal teams like the Mets, Red Sox, Giants, Dodgers, Padres, etc. Not quite as convenient from a travel/scheduling standpoint...although it works out if you plug that rainout date the following day into the schedule as a cushion.

Stressful but ultimately rewarding...if you didn't give up and turn off the game out of frustration with Hendriks. Didn't look good, especially with Mendick making the first out and Zavala up next...thankfully, Chapman is out as well (yes, we already touched him up earlier in the season but you'd much prefer to face Britton.)
August 13, 20214 yr It was a great night for baseball for sure. Not even the biggest cynic around would dispute it was baseball's greatest night in a long time. White Sox-Yankees was perfect opponent. If they are going to do this again next year, it won't be the same. The stuff with Costner that was so special would be dumb in year two. Also the teams should be ones that have been around forever. I'd say Boston Red Sox vs. Cardinals would be a good one. This worked so well I'd let the big market Red Sox follow the Yankees. Then in year three, Cubs vs. Detroit.
August 13, 20214 yr If Manfred and MLB had a clue this would be the last FOD game. You cannot possibly top this game and all the buildup would seem contrived if you do it again next year. Just drop the mic and walk off the stage MLB.

August 13, 20214 yr Here is cleaner audio of the game winner from Len Kasper & DJ. Updated White Sox Regular Season Home Record by Stadium 1901-August 12, 2021 1.000 (1-0) Field of Dreams 2021 (28995 Lansing Road, Dyersville Iowa) .638 (445-252) South Side Park III 1901-1910 (West 38th Place & South Princeton Avenue, Chicago Illinois) .543 (1,303-1,097) Comiskey Park II 1991-2021 (333 West 35th Street, Chicago Illinois) .535 (3,326-2,889) Comiskey Park / White Sox Park 1910-1990 (324 West 35th Street, Chicago Illinois) .400 (8-12) Milwaukee County Stadium 1968-1969 (201 South 46th Street, Milwaukee Wisconsin)

This moment seemed like a cross between that and the old Comiskey Park scoreboard days. Now they probably will go to Brooklyn and construct a sandlot field (Benny The Jet Rodriguez has to be there) and have the Giants/Dodgers play, haha. Edited August 13, 20214 yr by caulfield12

August 13, 20214 yr I would like to add that the amount of games this year an opposing player hits multiple homers against us is getting straight bananas.
