CHICAGO _ The Chicago White Sox still are playing in Major League Baseball's "Field of Dreams" game _ but the opponent will be different.
A source confirmed Wednesday the St. Louis Cardinals were selected in place of the New York Yankees, one week after Major League Baseball announced it would play a 60-game schedule that limits teams to playing against their own divisions and regional interleague matchups.
The Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers, who play against the Cardinals in the National League Central, were under consideration to oppose the Sox for the game originally set for Aug. 13 in Dyersville, Iowa.
The game is scheduled to be televised by Fox, but health and safety protocols remain in place while construction continues at the ballpark near the site where the popular movie was filmed.
The Cubs will have to wait until at least next year to play a showcase game after their London Series against the Cardinals, scheduled for June 13-14, was canceled because of the coronavirus.
