Joey Votto’s heartfelt thread on why the ‘Field of Dreams’ game means so much to him will have you in your feels

You won’t find too many people out there who don’t think Major League Baseball’s “Field of Dreams” game is insanely cool.

It’s based on the 1989 film and you get a nostalgia hit from just watching it. Whether it’s the OG uniforms the teams are wearing or the legit cornfield in the backdrop. everything about it just feels so poetic. It’s just beautiful. It takes you back to that place you were as a kid again.

It means a lot for most players to play in this game, but Joey Votto explained exactly why it means so much to him. He got very personal and it was so touching.

Votto explained that he grew up on this movie. It’s what sparked the drive for him to be where he is today. He also explained how it connects him to his father, who he lost more than 14 years ago.

I’ll let him explain the rest.

That’s good stuff from Votto, man. Very touching. Almost feels like someone is peeling onions in the crib right now. Sheesh.

Fans appreciated this story so much from him.
