So, was last night’s White Sox 9-8 win over the Yankees in the Field of Dreams game at Dyersville anti-climactic for the Dyersville community and the state? The real highlight may have come before the game when Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said there’ll be a Field of Dreams game again next year, likely in August. Eight-thousand were in the stands for the game a few miles outside of Dyersville.  Hundreds more set up lawn chairs in the City Square in Dyersville to watch the game on a big screen.

Ken Graves connects the underlying theme of the movie to his own experience. He’s been playing baseball since he was five.

With all due respect to the State Fair and caucuses, last night’s spotlight on Iowa will result in flocks of folks wanting to check out the fields of not just Dyserville, but the state of Iowa.
