Yankees Beat Writer Forced to Drive to Iowa for ‘Field of Dreams’ Game

In his famous monologue in Field of Dreams, James Earl Jones (as Terrance Mann) talks about the mystical pull that the baseball diamond in an Iowa cornfield will have on visitors: “They’ll turn up your driveway, not even sure why they’re doing it.”. By the time MLB.com Yankees beat writer Bryan Hoch arrives at the movie site in Iowa, he’ll probably be in a similar kind of trance, but not because of the magic of baseball. He’ll be in a trance because he will have driven 1,000 miles through the dead of night to get to Iowa.
