Kevin Costner leads the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox from the cornfield to the Field of Dreams diamond ahead of their historic matchup in Iowa. Tune into the Field of Dreams game on FOX.
No sport is more steeped in nostalgia than baseball, and no movie is more tied to baseball's nostalgia than "Field of Dreams."
The 1989 Kevin Costner classic placed baseball on a mythical pedestal, examining fatherhood, dreams and hero worship in an Iowa cornfield turned ballpark. And it was that exact cornfield that MLB revisited 32 years later, trying to bring that mythos to one of its own games. For the most part, the league stuck the landing, even if it did provide the people who habitually roll their eyes at the movie plenty more material to mock.
The highly anticipated Field of Dreams Game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox saw Costner make an emotional return to that filming location, followed by a powerful visual of the players entering the field via cornfield, just like the movie:
The league followed that entrance with a speech from Costner and even more visuals of the converted ballpark in Dyersville, Iowa.
