The MLB returns to Iowa tonight for the second rendition of the Field of Dreams Game. Honouring the 1989 Kevin Costner classic, two classic teams play right in the original corn field from the movie.
Now, the bar was set pretty high for entertainment last year as the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees on a walk-off homer.
This year we have a pair of mediocre teams (record-wise) going toe-to-toe with the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds facing off. What we love instantly though is the return of the throwback classics from the early 1900’s.

Sadly, the two pitchers going head-to-head tonight are Drew Smyly and Nick Lodolo. Exactly. Who? Smyly has been around for a while, but the matchup certainly doesn’t add to the hype.
Let’s just focus on the jerseys and the cornfield.
