It was 31 years ago when the movie Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner first came to the big screen.  In 2021 the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox's are living a childhood dream.

The night started with Kevin Costner walking out of the cornfield into the outfield followed by the players of the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox’s emerging from the cornfield into the outfield and ended with a 2 run walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th by a player on the White Sox’s to win the game 9-8.
