The Cubs’ rainout-induced double header last week set a couple Field of Dreams Game storylines in motion.
First, it gave Cubs pitcher Adrian Sampson a chance to watch the movie for about the tenth time, in between games. Next, it pushed lefty Drew Smyly’s start this week to Thursday in Iowa among the storied corn stalks.
“Probably a game that I can always look back and remember on in my career, even though it’s just one regular season game,” Smyly said. “It’ll be special just to be part of that, a one-of-one game every season.”
The Cubs and Reds star in the Field of Dreams Game sequel on Thursday.
