Did you watch the Field of Dreams game on Thursday night? I did, and despite my tepid feelings for the book and movie on which it was based, I enjoyed it! It was pretty clearly a publicity stunt organized by people who are far more interested in monetizing the game’s past—a fictionalized past at that—than visualizing a sustainable future, but it was also clear the people who organized the game cared quite a bit about the project. The stadium was beautiful. The uniforms were beautiful. The TV production had its blips but was very corny, in a charming way.
