Brewers Games in Kansas City

We figured tat the Filed of Dreams would be a significant place to visit if you are a fan of baseball, so we got a group shot of all of us with the house and the field in the background. To this day, I have yet to send this into the Brewers, but I doubt they would have posted it on the website and on the scoreboard had I sent it in.

I walked into the corn to see if I could find Shoeless Joe Jackson and the rest of the 1919 Chicago White Sox. I looked high and low for those 9 ballplayers, but they were not to be found that day in the cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa. I guess you have a better chance of finding them when the corn is actually tall enough to conceal the players and if your name is Kevin Costner. I didn't have enough time to wait for the corn to grow, and unless my parents are lying to me, my name isn't Kevin Costner. Some things were just never meant to happen in real life.

It is truly remarkable that they have been able to preserve this place exactly as it was in the film because it allows people like me to come and admire it.  I bet in 1989 they never expected this place to become a tourist destinations for baseball fans worldwide.

While I walked around and goofed off, the rest of the kids took full advantage of the playing field and threw the ball around. I would have gotten more involved, but I was the odd man out in this group of 5.  Besides, I'd rather wander around and explore instead of engaging in physical activities of an athletic nature.  You all know of my obsession with movies, and being that this was a movie set, I needed to explore it as much as possible just in case I never get the opportunity to come back here again.

The Brewers started a marketing campaign in 2006 that included a showcase of Brewers fans around the world. Brewers fans were encouraged to send in pictures of themselves wearing Brewers gear in front of national landmarks and important places.

Balkman was checking out the bleachers, and even climbed to the top of them to get the best look of the field in front of him. There isn't a lot of room for fans to sit and watch the game, but that's ok because the only people who can see the White Sox ghost players are Ray, Annie and Karin Kinsella.
