Tonight the Field of Dreams game in Dyersville...

With that new stadium complex being built and no game next year, I just wonder if the charm that draws people will be lost?? People come to touch the movie sort of. When I saw the ball players coming out of the corn last year I cried like a baby.. I do not know how they keep that in the midst of a giant baseball complex..

Nothing will ever surpass last year's game, but hopefully this will be an annual event nonetheless.

...they were expanding the large MLB field and adding -eighteen- additional diamonds for Little Leaguers, Pony League, Softball, plus a hotel!

Where are they going to plant corn? They are going to destroy what made the place special.

Then she'll blame Frank Thomas or Cindy Axne or Joe Biden or somebody else.
But...having said that, I think that it's all getting a little too commercial. So maybe it should end.
