I have to admit when I first heard that Major League Baseball’s ‘Field of Dreams’ game was going not going to be played on the actual field that was used in the movie, I was a bit bummed out. After all, the movie Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner is one of my all-time favorite sports movies.
That being said, I’m a baseball junkie and there was no chance that I was going to miss tonight’s ‘Field of Dreams’ game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.
From the moment I turned the game on, I have been completely impressed by what MLB and FOX did to make it absolutely incredible.
Here are some of the video highlights if you missed it live.

"On the other side of that corn we filmed a movie that stood the test of time. Tonight, thanks to that enduring impact that that little movie had, it's allowed us to come here again."
