CNN
Cornfields made famous by the film "Field of Dreams" host Iowa's very first official Major League Baseball game. It's hoped renewed interest in the expanded site, long a pilgrimage destination for baseball tourists, will see it draw many more visitors.
Dyersville, Iowa (CNN) — Is this heaven? No, It's Iowa. It's the place where dreams came true for baseball fans, as the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees emerged from the cornfields to play the first official Major League Baseball game in the state on Thursday night on a specially built field next to the original "Field of Dreams" movie site in Dyersville. Based on W. P. Kinsella's novel "Shoeless Joe," the 1989 film "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin Costner is considered by many to be one of the finest sports movies of all time for how it captures the timeless nature and universal appeal of baseball. Costner attended Thursday's game.More Related News
