The ‘Field of Dreams’ Game Deserves to Be an MLB Tradition

DYERSVILLE, Iowa — I stepped into an elevator at the Hotel Julien in Dubuque, Iowa, and so did Timothy Busfield.

“Been here before?” a friend traveling with Busfield asked me.

“Yes, I was here last year,” I said. I turned to Busfield with a wink and asked, “And you? I imagine you’ve been here before.”

“Um, a time or two,” he said with a sly grin.

Busfield played as close to a villain as Field of Dreams would allow. A non-believer, he played Mark, the brother-in-law of Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) who believes in a voice telling him to turn part of his corn crop into a baseball field.
