The Field of Dreams is a baseball movie released in 1989. It tells the story of an Iowa farmer, Ray Kinsella, who hears a voice in his corn field telling him, “If you build it, he will come.” He interpretsthis to mean that he should build a baseball field on his farm, and the ghosts of baseball players from the past will come and play on it. The movie starred Kevin Costner as Ray Kinsella, James Earl Jones as Terrence Mann, and Burt Lancaster as Dr. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham. The Field of Dreams was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture.<\/p>\n

The first Field of Dreams game was played on August 13, 1988, between the White Sox and the Yankees.<\/p>\n

Joe Jackson, one of the greatest outfielders of his time, was one of eight players implicated in the 1919 Black Sox scandal, in which players on the Chicago White Sox were accused of intentionally losing the World Series. The “Field of Dreams” movie, starring Ray Liotta as Jackson, focuses on the players who were banned from Major League Baseball as a result of the scandal. Though many believe Jackson was innocent, the scandal forever tarnished his reputation.<\/p>\n
