The movie

Field of Dreams is a 1989 American fantasy-drama sports film directed by Phil Alden Robinson, who also wrote the screenplay, from W. P. Kinsella’s novel Shoeless Joe. It stars Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta and Burt Lancaster in his final film role. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, including for Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.

The film has taken on a life of its own since its release. In 2001, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

On his farm in Iowa, Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him, “If you build it, he will come.” He recognizes the voice as that of his deceased father John Kinsella. Inspired by the voice, Ray builds a baseball diamond on his farm regardless of whether anyone will ever come to play there.

One night as he sleeps in his cornfield convenient store/shack that he calls the Field of Dreams Movie Site Gift Shop and had set up to sell jerseys and other movie memorabilia to tourists who come to see where the movie was filmed; his late father John visits him and tells him that he needs to continue listening to the voices or else he will regret it for the rest of his life; despite not knowing what else the voices have in store for him. The next morning he awakens to find tractor tire tracks going through his cornfield from the nearby highway which are later revealed to have been made by an anonymous young girl playing with her dog along with other children; all of whom mysteriously vanish when Ray tries to get their attention

The field

The Field of Dreams is a baseball field located near Dyersville, Iowa, in the United States. It is the site of the movie Field of Dreams, which was released in 1989. The film’s story is based on the book Shoeless Joe by W. P Kinsella. It was made into a movie starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, and James Earl Jones.

The farm where the field is located was originally owned by Don and Becky Lansing. The Lansings operated a successful dairy farm on the land for many years. In 1988, they decided to sell their farm and retire.

The field was then purchased by Kevin Costner’s production company for the purpose of filming Field of Dreams. After filming was completed, the field was donated to the city of Dyersville with the stipulation that it be maintained as a baseball field in perpetuity.

The Field of Dreams has since become one of America’s most popular tourist destinations. Thousands of people visit the site every year to play catch on the field or simply to experience the unique atmosphere of this special place.

The Game

On August 13th, 1986, a group of strangers came together to play a game of baseball. They had never met each other before, but they all shared a love for the game. This game would go down in history as the Field of Dreams game.

The teams

The teams were the White Sox and the Yankees. The game was won by the White Sox, with a score of 2-1.

The players

The game was played between two teams of all-time greats, one managed by Joe Jackson and the other by Shoeless Joe. The team managed by Joe Jackson included such legends as Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Honus Wagner. The team Shoeless Joe managed included Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth (again), and Cy Young.

The game was incredibly close, with neither team able to gain a significant lead. In the end, it was the team managed by Shoeless Joe that won the game by a score of 2-1.

The outcome

The game itself was never in doubt. The White Sox easily defeated the Yankees 7-5, with Michael Jordan hitting a home run in his first at-bat. Jordan went on to finish the game 3-for-5 with two RBIs. It was a classic case of the better team winning, as the White Sox had a lineup full of future Hall of Famers, while the Yankees were mainly made up of has-beens and never-will-bes.

After the Game

After the game, the team all went out to celebrate their win. They had a great time and it was a great way to end the season. The next day, they were all back to their usual routines.

What happened to the field?

The field was originally built for the movie and was only meant to be temporary. After the movie wrapped, the field was dismantled and the sod was sold off to fans. The outfield scoreboard and lights were donated to a baseball museum in Cooperstown, New York.

What happened to the players?

Though the game was only a figment of their imagination, the players in Field of Dreams went on to have very real careers in Major League Baseball.

Outfielder Terence Mann, played by James Earl Jones, was loosely based on writer and social activist Jim Bouton. Bouton was a baseball journeyman, best known for his tell-all book Ball Four, which chronicled his time with the Houston Astros and New York Yankees in the 1960s. After being out of baseball for more than a decade, Bouton made a brief comeback with the Atlanta Braves in 1978, at age 42.

The character Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner, was based on writer W.P. Kinsella, who wrote the novel Shoeless Joe upon which Field of Dreams is based. In the film, Ray hears the voice of an unseen character named Terence Mann telling him to “go the distance,” which may be a reference to Ken Kesey’s novel Sometimes a Great Notion; Kesey lived near where the movie was filmed and his son Jed was friends with Phil Alden Robinson, Field of Dreams’ director.

The character Archie Graham, played by Dwier Brown, was based on Archibald “Moonlight” Graham, who played one inning for the New York Giants in 1905 but never had an at-bat. In real life, Graham became a doctor and spent 22 years as chief of staff at X-Ray Memorial Hospital in Black Mountain, North Carolina; he died in 1965 at age 87. The character Jigger Statz, played by Burt Lancaster in an uncredited role as an older Archie Graham, was also based on Moonlight Graham.
