White Sox v. Yankees at Field of Dreams

[Isualum13]

Tonight will be the first time I have watched an entire mlb game since game 7 of the 2016 world series. Before that I'm not sure it ever happenned.

This is one of the coolest things that’s happened in Iowa in long, long time.

Not a fan of professional baseball, but I am really enjoying this. Bringing the game back to its roots.

If only we could return college football to its roots.

Wow. Don't blame Kopech for being pissed. Strike 3!

Yeah, that was rough.

My 15 y.o. just said "who is Kevin Costner" so I guess we're watching it after this.

He will enjoy Bull Durham more

What's that line where Costner and Robbins were talking about a wedding gift? LOL

Slow down Buddy, have you not heard about the new mattress store on Duff?

Did you hit him with your right hand or your left?

I haven't been a big baseball guy since I was a kid, but this is very, very cool. Something special.

We had a perfect yard at my farm as a kid to make a baseball field, with different sheds and fences etc.. as home runs, and we'd mow out an infield. Was about the same time FoD was big.

We had a reunion this summer and remade the field and it was just fantastic. So this type of thing tonight is all sorts of feels.

 

[CRcyclone6]

So glad this game started about 630pm. 8th inning already!

 

[CRcyclone6]

This home plate ump is very inconsistent. Another missed strike 3.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Homerun by MLB (no pun intended). This needs to be an annual thing going forward.

Zipties and stakes confirmed to prop up a large chunk of the corn

Ex coach Jimmy Burrow's son.

 

[RezClone]

Lynn looks like he’d crush some Busch Lights.

Lance Lynn looks like he would be out of shape to even play in a slow pitch softball league...

Love it. We actually mowed out all of areas where the dirt would be on a real field.

Had a wire backstop.

I hope kids made that...creating the field was half the fun.
