Even better than that... Two homers by the Yankees in the top of the 9th to come back from 7-3 to take an 8-7 lead and then the Walk of 2 run HR in the 9th by the Sox...

Hollywood could not have scripted this game any better.

This is where my dad would say "Why in the hell cant you leave well enough alone"

I figure this will probably play as well as the David Soul Casablanca TV series.

Oh, and apparently next year's Field of Dreams game will feature the Cubs and Reds.

Perhaps they can get Lee Elia to wander out of the corn and tell everyone that they're a bunch of cocksuckers. :-)

The TV show has a fantastic showrunner attached (The Office, Parks and Rec, The Good Place) which gives it potential to stand on its own.

Still not my first choice but if it’s gone work they picked the right person to pull it off.

Re: whether FoD is overhyped, or whatever. I recall it as a well made movie, but it didn't pack the emotional wallop for me personally because the central hook is the almost exact inverse of my relationship with my father.

We've always been close, but we never shared sports participation. We shared other interests, and we shared sports enjoyment. But my dad had poor eyesight as a child and his mom was overprotective, so he wasn't raised with contact sports and has been self-conscious about his abilities ever since.

So I've never 'yearned' to do something to connect with my dad, and the many things we do do together never involved 'a catch.'

But I can appreciate the emotional impact for others, . . . I just don't experience it myself.

It helps if you have a dead parent or two.

It also helps if you’re not from Iowa and don’t know damn well this is the furthest place from fucking heaven.
