When The Field of Dreams came out in the spring of 1989, the country’s eyes turned to Iowa. The film became an instant classic with a slew of memorable lines and scenes that will still bring tears to anyone’s eye. In the years that followed, a small tourism market developed around the film site in Dyersville.
With Major League Baseball hosting its first ever game from the film site on Thursday evening, the country’s eyes once again turned to Iowa. The game finished with a movie script ending as Chicago’s Tim Anderson hit a walk-off home run to give the Chicago White Sox a 9-8 win over the New York Yankees in the first ever MLB game in the state of Iowa.
