Field of Dreams is a 1989 film starring Kevin Costner as an Iowa farmer who builds a baseball field after hearing a mysterious voice. Its story links baseball with family memories and the idea that the past can feel present again.
Major League Baseball began holding special games beside the film’s famous farmhouse in Iowa in 2021. Players walk through cornfields onto a purpose-built ballpark, turning a regular league game into an event designed to celebrate the sport’s history and its place in American culture.
The Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies are long-established MLB teams, while the players and former stars mentioned in the introduction represent different eras of baseball. Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson are among the sport’s most influential historical figures, and the others are well-known players whose careers helped shape modern baseball.
