Major League Baseball’s Field of Dreams Game has been a long time coming, and now it’s officially here!
The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox both made the trip to Dyersville, Iowa for a once-in-a-lifetime baseball event to celebrate the 1989 movie. A 8,000-seat stadium was specifically built for the occasion, featuring the iconic cornfields of the movie that backdrop the film.
(A cornfield which some New York players got lost in before the game too!)
On Thursday, at the start of the event, the Yankees and White Sox both entered the field through the cornfields after Field of Dreams star Kevin Costner had the honor of stepping out first. The entire sequence was set to the movie’s score, which made the scene all the sweeter.

Is it a cheesy entrance? Sure! But very much in the spirit of the original film, which I have to applaud. Bravo, MLB!
