The dog-days of summer are upon us. Even in a year where we were granted basketball into July, the summer days in sports inevitably arrive and we yearn for football season. Summer baseball is phenomenal, but let’s not lie and say that it’s always thrilling. Luckily, Major League Baseball has thrown us a lifeline. Credit must be given where credit is due, and commissioner Rob Manfred and MLB have come up with a wonderful way to liven up our summer with “The Field of Dreams” game. It took 30 years… and now they are here ⚾️???? The @Yankees vs. @whitesox on the Field of Dreams, August 12, at 6 PM ET on FOX pic.twitter.com/Ynjed8tAX5 FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) August 6, 2021 The game will take place Thursday evening at 7:15 p.m. ET in Dyersville, Iowa between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox. The game was originally scheduled for last season — the 30th anniversary of the movie — but was delayed a year due to the pandemic. It’s an homage to the Academy Award-nominated 1989 film “Field of Dreams” featuring Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones, and Ray Liotta. The field was erected next to the original diamond built for the movie. In keeping with the theme of the film, both teams will wear throwback uniforms from the 20th century and will be introduced by walking through the maze of corn in right field.
