What do you think of the recreation?
Fabulous
Great ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing and breathtaking!
Beautiful
It's made me feel, for just a little bit, like my old self. I've loved this game my whole life, but lately I just haven't felt it anymore. For tonight, it's been briefly rekindled.
MLB needs to keep that field and use it every year! This was the best game they've done in a while...
Agreed
Go too a minor league game? Support local teams lol? You’ll get the same feel and keep them in business
Totally agree!
They have a plan to play a game there every year. The FOD classic with throwback uni's.
It was announced that its returning next year
This needs to be a annual tradition 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The plan is to do a repeat next season in 2022.
and the yankees need to lose every year...
@@marctouss1862 The Yankees dynasty spirit died long ago. Today, very few MLB players stay with one team for their entire career. Derek Jeter did it though.
@@sergeantmasson3669 brett gardner is the last homegrown yankee that will retire in pinstripes...
@@marctouss1862 That's an unknown factor.
It would have been even more "perfect" if James Earl Jones had been able to be a part of it and attend. Think he is in his 90's now so it most likely have been a difficult trip esp with Covid kicking back but he was as important to the film as Costner was.
Hes like 90
He’s old and grumpy, we’re good
He’s 90. Woulda been cool if the guy that played his dad and Joe Jackson were there
It would have been Epic if MLB did this on Derek Jeter’s last year. But it was still good to watch.
@@someguythatsboredandhigh2988 you’re reply doesn’t sit well with me. I received a call this morning from my older brother regarding my 90 year old father. He’s not doing well. I’ve been asked to come home. You are obviously young, but maybe not, maybe just that arrogant. Life goes by so fast it’s almost unbelievable. Our elderly should be spoken of with respect. You’ll be old and grumpy my friend in the blink of an eye. Aging is lonely and cruel.
Have to tip my cap to Costner. He was really a great actor at the time Field of Dreams came out. I honestly cannot imagine any other actor, especially today's actors, being able to pull that part off the way he did. He did a great job, and he deserves credit for its success.
One of my favorite actors. I love his passion for sports! Field of Dreams and Tin Cup are some of my all time favorites.
@@baronsamedi4239 Didn't get much in the way of critical reviews but I enjoyed his perfomance as an aging pitcher, "For The Love Of The Game."
@@broadcasttttable Clear the mechanism
Yeah, he was great in Field of Dreams, but I honestly believe Bull Durham was a better baseball movie.
I loved the acting in that movie. It is one of my favorites.
This will become MLB's version of the NHL's "winter classic".......I love this, and hope this becomes the annual tradition.
Nah. This was special because it was a singular experience. Do it every season and it will lose the magic.
I sure hope so
@@nathanmckenzie7579 They don't need to do it at the Field of Dreams every time. It would be a really cool experience for these guys to play Sandlot ball. "who ever said baseball wasn't romantic".
@@maroinmybones Sandlot ball at fields other than the Field of Dreams cornfield is an interesting idea. Mixing it up will keep it fresh and unique. Trying to replicate what happened in Iowa last week every year at the same location will not succeed.
I was cringing a bit thinking this was just too tall of an order to pull off... that it couldn't live up to the mysticism of the movie and all it carries with it as part of Americana. Boy was I wrong. FOX and perhaps even more importantly the PLAYERS put together a production that not only exceeded my wildest expectations (particularly as an Iowan who grew up 20 min from the field), but breathes new life into this great great game... if you ever wondered why they call it 'the show' you don't have to wonder anymore. Absolutely spectacular, colossal... it was and is... PERFECT
What mysticism? It was people who support violent thugs and criminals playing baseball in a corn field.
@@frankcabanski9409 Oh boy... :(
@@frankcabanski9409 what are you on about dawg
@@frankcabanski9409 Violent thugs and criminals? You mean like the right-wing terrorists who attacked the United States Capitol Building on January 6, 2021? They were directly incited by a sitting President of the United States. Nobody looting and rioting was ever directly incited by a sitting President.
@@ameetbarot4270 get real.
It was really nice to not see the strike zone on the TV screen. It was really nice to not hear about Stat Cast. It was really nice to just watch the baseball game, reflect on past personal memories of the game. I just allowed me to enjoy myself and disconnect from life for 4-1/2 hours. Thank you.
Yeah, but it would have been so much nicer if they didn't have that stupid video screen, and no outfield wall...just the corn.
Completely agree....however i did cancel my geico coverage..no really I did.....the only turnoff of the entire night
I love how he swears and then apologizes for it. True class act Mr. Costner
What a great actor
Lol Mr Costner. You think he's reading this? 🙄🤣
@@jeffdur1330 no, he is being a nice guy
Well your love is misplaced. A class act wouldn't talk that way
@@jaimhaas5170 no class acts have ever sweared. horrid take
To this day I cannot watch Field of Dreams without crying at the end. Not because of what I said or did with my dad but because of what I didn't do with him. My father passed away in 1974 when I was only 6 years old from Kidney failure, and like the movie his name was John. I didn't have long on this earth with him but my father loved baseball. He was a photographer that worked for the Philadelphia Phillies doing free lance work which he sold to the Philadelphia Bulletin and Inquirer.
My dad, and his dad my grandfather loved baseball. They loved the Phillies. One of the few memories I have with my father was having a catch with him in the front yard of our house. From what I was told by mother and relatives over the years is that my father was a gentle great man that left us too soon. I'm in my 50's now, but my 14 year old son who has never seen Field of Dreams (I wanted to wait until he was old enough to truly grasp the meaning of the movie) will be watching it today with me, and yes I will be crying when Kevin Costner turns to his dad and asked him his name. When he says, John I begin to lose it, when he says, "Dad do you want to have a catch", I'm mush. But hey it is what baseball and this movie does to me.
If I could just have ONE more catch with my father to let him see his grand kids and me as a grown man ...
The scoreboard, & those charged with changing the numbers dressed in period appropriate collars, suspenders, & hats, was the BEST!
"But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again." Terrence Mann
Too bad the game is horsesh*t now, much like our society nowadays.
Phenomenal game! Amazing presentation and the Yankees & Whitesox delivered! MLB & Kevin Costner delivered us a beautiful moment in these crazy times.
I am from Cuba ,we love Baseball but this things make me love more this Sport ,thanks MLB
Imagine that small town with ESPN and Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, Big Papi, Kevin Costner rolling into town along with the first place Chicago White Sox and the most historic team in baseball the New York Yankees
Fox Sports*
Someone who works at the Dubuque airport (the closest major airport) told me there were 27 private jets here for the game. Dyersville has been one big party all week. People from all over going to the local breweries and restaurants and helping out the local economy. We are so glad to have so many people here.
@@crowtservo that’s awesome! Hopefully I can make the 15 hour trip one day soon
@@chocolatechipslime It’s a 25 minute trip for me. I haven’t been to the Field of Dreams since 1999.
@@crowtservo great to hear!
Had the amazing opportunity to meet Kevin Costner in Toronto. What a great guy..very personable, and loves to talk about Baseball. I feel pretty lucky for that opportunity, and it was nice to see him included in this game.
This was the coolest thing in sports for a LONG time. There's something pure about the game in this smaller setting.
I’m so glad they didn’t censor this. Let the guy be real.
I love Kevin Costner. So real, so insightful. Not just an empty shell. ❤️
If Kevin Costner said “if you build it, they will come”, I’ve would of lost my mind. I love Bull Durham and Field of Dreams.
Yesss .....the whole time he was walking out, I was whispering to my self...
If You build it,He will come....
Don’t forget For Love of The Game
Actually, the line is, "If you build it, HE will come."
When he asked the crowd “Is this Heaven?”
And the crowd’s response
Magic
MLB should keep doing games like this. A Sandlot game next would be amazing
As an Italian I have never seen a baseball game but I love Field of Dreams. And Kevin Costner is still great.
I've never watched a baseball game...but this made me teary-eyed.
And one more thing: There's a true genuineness about Kevin Costner...that's absolutely palpable.
"I kept that Shelby Cobra...it meant something to me." Legend.
I have been to the Field of Dreams a few times. It is weird but there is a certain feeling of peace when you are in this space. It is hard to describe but it chokes you up when you watch people visit. They bring their gloves and their baseballs for a catch. They may even take a turn at batting but they don't speak. There is a silence of words. They act as if this place is like a church and they treat it with reverence. All you hear is the sounds of baseball. They spend an hour or so tossing the baseball around, walking the field or disappearing into the corn that edge this field but what you really are seeing them do is trying to catch the spirit and the feelings this Field of Dreams brings.
CJ - You are 100% correct. I have been lucky enough to be there twice. It is a special place & may I say it ...spiritual in all the right ways!
Yes, it's about baseball but it's all about connections or missed connections in relationships & the power of the...Field of Dreams...to heal such !
Should be an annual event & hello from Canada ! 🌾🍁🌾🍁🌾🍁🌾
Well said, CJ! That's why baseball will never die. It may struggle at times, and even appear to no longer be relevant to America, but it will always be there for us.
Oh my gosh, what you wrote made me cry. Beautifully written.
This was so nice to see a family gathering event brought to the 2000's from the past Kevin is such a good man . Who's ever idea of this was great and deserves phrase .
family gathering at $1,400+ per ticket
@@Mrbink01 well my family's worth it
Thank you Mr. Costner, for bringing one of my favorite childhood movies to real life, no actors, no script, real people doing what dreams are made of. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Still waiting for Shoeless Joe Jackson come out of the corn fields.
Imagine Ray Liotta walking out. Omfg
That would have been amazing!
It would've been epic if Kevin had made his speech, and then Ray Liotta had come out of the cornfield as Shoeless Joe to throw out the first pitch.
Wonderful, I cried! Beautiful tribute! ♥️♥️
Hello Thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate ❤️
Kevin is such a class act. I have tremendous respect for him.
I was 11 when this movie came out, and I loved it, this whole experience today stunned me, but in a good way.
Can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. This was the first baseball game I truly sat down and watched. I was awestruck by the players coming out of the corn. Field of Dreams means the world to me. It’s my favorite movie. So to see them play there, and then last October getting to go see it myself, was incredible. It was more than that, it was perfect. I’ve fallen in love with baseball because of this one magical night in Iowa.
The game last night delivered everything you imagine it to be. Beauty and Drama like the movie.
id go into to the corn field if i could play catch with my dad every day i ran off the bus and my dad had are mits out lost him in 1977 and elvis at 13 miss him like its yesterday! im 58 now! he seen me pitch and my first game i scored the winning run and picked me up and said son im proud of you! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ cant by that!
Tears watching Mr. Costner come out on the field… so pure… so simple… perfect
So awesome!!! Our national pastime, and What a wonderful homage to baseball
Kevin will always be an American cinematic Icon even to the point I personally would consider him a National Treasure. Although FoD is an amazing film ... my all time favorite of his will forever be Dances With Wolves.
Man of steel.
I guess I would not consider him that great of an actor to be considered a National Treasure. I love all his movies that have a sports theme mainly because I love baseball, I think he is his best in these types of movies his other movies not so much.
Dances with Wolves all time fav. KC movie. Field of Dreams great movie at the time these special effects were amazing.
This was a brilliant idea long overdue. By the way did anyone else wonder who was chopping onions?
You too? Thought it was just me 😁
Lot of that going around . . . that Iowa pollen can reach out and zap you through the screen. It's even worse in HD on a 80" screen.
@@righthandwolf306 😊😁😁😁😁
I've been thinking about an idea . . . a way that would help build the magic and myth of this place in Iowa. Suppose they played one regular season game there as planned. Let the rest of the season play out normally - Division races, NCLS, ACLS and whatnot. The 2 World Series teams would duke it out on their respective home fields, like usual. But in the event of the World Series being tied 3-3, if Game 7 needed to happen, then let it be played on that Field of Dreams.
Major League Baseball got this one right........Everyone needs to go to a few more games to pay them back for this..........Go Tribe......ET
No baseball buckled under the pressure. It's go Guardians. How embarrassing for the city of Cleveland and for MLB.
This Fox Sports was fantastic they done a good job enjoying the whole program watch the whole game there was Unreal it was fantastic thank you again Sports on Fox hello to John and Joe Buck all done a great job
Dude curses on live tv on accident and apologizes straight after. Legend
Wish James Earl Jones could have been apart of it.
Saw FoD at the theatre in Berkeley, CA while stationed on the USS Enterprise and it still remains my favorite movie to date ⚾️
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! ❤️
Lost my Dad at age 10. That movie touched me on a deep, emotional level. This game was heaven sent.
Jon Oeschger, I'm very sorry about your father. Your short yet extremely heartfelt message touched me deeply. Reason being, I've written a true story surrounding the NY Yankees and my brother, which has to do with a father and son. Too much to get into now. However, one line in my book reads as such: "Now, I’m convinced that God IS on my side, for this unique pitching matchup had obviously been Heaven sent." As you can see, you and I feel the game as much as most lovers of baseball, if not more. God bless.
I did some work many years ago in Cedar Rapids. I had to make the long drive to the Field of Dreams before I left to go back to Alabama. It was before all the commercialism started. Seeing it was awesome.
Memories for me of baseball wasn't catch with my Dad. He couldn't do it because of his health. But, Giants and A's games we went....Mays, Bonds, Cepeda, Montefusco, Catfish, Blue and Reggie.
Adendum: Others had to show me how to throw & catch and swing a bat and field who weren't family.
This is why I did it with my son when he was a kid. I showed him and played catch and even practiced with him.
This is why this film touches a cord with me and I am sure with many others.
Field of Dreams is one of those movies that literally has something for everyone.
Those of us whose fathers either weren’t around to “have a catch” with their sons or maybe were around but didn’t care really appreciate this movie and this game. I wasn’t able to buy him a car when he was sixteen or do a lot of other things for him like I wanted to but I did spend time in the back yard just “having a catch”, or maybe tossing a football around. Moments I can’t get back that have become memories I’ll always cherish.
I love the way they got this set up it's a amazing making me miss playing the game!!!
It makes me want to play the game even more. Incredible.
I could listen to this man speak all day. So sincere!
I’m so glad I was able to see this happen in my lifetime.
Kevin is gold. I was totally charmed by him for the first time in Silverado, and Dances with Wolves is a film masterpiece. But this movie is so magical that I am moved by its beauty and compassion every time. I don’t dislike baseball, but I can’t say I am a real fan either although I like a great game. But when I saw this movie for the first time, my dad (who was a real fan) had just died a few months earlier. I cried like a little child longing for it to be real so I could tell him “I love you” one more time. One day it will be real, I guess, when “heaven” is “Iowa” no longer.
It was, by the way, a great game. :)
Hello Thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️
Best thing I have ever watched.
It was almost like Field of Dreams 2 and IMO the sequel was better.
Turns out there IS crying in baseball. I started leaking when the players came out of the corn field.
Thanks to MLB and Fox. 1 of my favorite experiences in my life.
I got teary watching it and have no idea why..... and after was kind of sobbing. I guess it's about innocence and loss of it, I don't know.
This makes the three of us 😭✨🇺🇲⚾
please have a game like this every year
They have announced yes next year, teams to be determined.
It was so amazing, Thank you for doing this and thank you to Kevin for the memories
I have been to the Field of Dreams twice and everytime l went there it brings a tear to my eyes!!
Can we just show some love/respect for Big Poppi's outfit. Everything from the hat to the color combination, the bow tie. That dude put a lot of thought into it! Frank Thomas on the other hand decided to go with the early 1900s "men in black" UFO alien outfit idea. 🤣
I know he’s been there for a while but it’s still great to see KB at the top. Watching him on for years knowing how great of a broadcaster he was at such a young age, I always knew I’d see him on national TV.
Use it several times a year. Just don't ruin it, by putting in 100000 seats. Doing this may bring back fans to a game once loved by America, before greed corrupted it.
Unfortunately, you cannot use it more than a few times a year unless you want it to also be a field of soybeans. There are only certain times of the year that the corn will be the right height, and most of these farms crop rotate to keep enough nitrogen etc. in the soil. That being said, it was very cool and I would like to see it be an annual thing much like how the NHL does their outdoor games. Very very cool atmosphere.
@@stovetopicus you know your stuff bro 👏 👏
@@stovetopicus good point.
Use plastic corn.
That's a joke.
He's an all-time great actor and seems like he's a genuinely great person. Would love to meet him sometime.
Men in Baseball Uniforms standing next to a cornfield (Without A Captions) will forever Represents "Field Of Dreams"
30 Years Ago WOW! I get it.☺
This was outstanding. Coolest thing to happen in sports since I’ve been alive, and I’m not even that into baseball.
One of the coolest things to ever happen in baseball in 100 years.
Amazing game with a great ending too!
As someone who grew up without his father, because he chose to not be a part of my and my mother's life. He died when I was 11 years old preventing me the chance to ever meet him, just a couple years after this movie came out. This movie will always be special to me, and one that I watch a few times a year and cry every time I watch the movie the scene that just rips at me is the scene where Ray and his father get to play catch.
With my beloved and favorite team, the Chicago Cubs playing in this game next year, so would like to be able to go to that game. I just wish my uncle was here to make the trip with me but I lost him a few years ago.
Great stuff. As a Twins fan, I usually do not like the Yankees or White Sox. But for this one night, these teams were great, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
This is just plain AMAZING. The very best.
Just the best movie ever..
Probably my fav too
Watched it probably 30 times. I tear up at the same points in the movie, especially any scene that involves Doc Graham.
I am a die hard Yankees Fan, but what a great night for Baseball and America.
If that didn't make you feel something ...... Then you got problems
Lol
Ya i dont even like ⚾ and i thought it was cool
And I am sure they used this place of baseball reverence, I guess you have never been there, as a money making ploy, and you bought in. Of course they gave all the BIG $$$$'s they made to the less fortunate of Iowa. Sure they did.
Thank you Fox for giving this to us without any beeps or edits.
I love how real and humble Mr. Costner is.
Most people don't see the connection at first. The film 🎥 wasn't about baseball as much as it was about a life lesson. We all as sons have said things we regret in hindsight (which is always 20/20) or things we wish we had said to our Dads. If there is one takeaway for my part it's to learn to move forward with the fewest regrets as possible.
This was so awesome it brought tears to my eyes just like the movie did could not stop crying thru the movie it is what baseball is all about it is not the money but the game it self and the love of the game and those that came before them
His voice here sounds exactly the way it did 25 years ago
Classic forever
This should be the home of the world baseball classic.
KEVIN COSTNER - What an amazing actor!! Greetings from Romania mr. Costner!
@Joseph ERIC Fisk Hi Joseph:) All the best to you my friend!
It was PERFECT. If you build it, Kevin Costner will come
Kevin looks so great...sill looking quite youthful at his age
I have to say, when Kevin walked out from the field it was pretty cool. I was really hoping that Ray Liotta - (Shoeless Joe Jackson) was coming out with teams...
It was a Great live game to watch and a Perfect ending...
And now let’s put shoeless joe Jackson in the hall of fame, he earned the right to be there.
He's still handsome.
I'm a big fan of Tin Cup. He never overreached in that one and I think he made a real gem with it.
My favorite quotes “lets have a catch”, “if you build it they come” and from another great Kevin Costner movie “your men ain’t cha” from open range him and Robert Duvall freaking amazing in that movie.
Kevin Costner seems like a great guy. He’s a very lucky man. Tnx for getting this game on. Thank you Kevin for pushing the dream
NOW LETS GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!
Classic flick and game but “The ⚡️Natural” will always be my favorite baseball ⚾️ movie 🍿 Bull Duram on the list too .... tin cup costners finest work tho 😂
THAT WAS SO AWESOME!! BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES - IS THIS HEAVEN - I CAN'T HEAR YOU - WOW KEVIN COSTNER YOU ROCK - JUST WHAT OUR COUNTRY NEEDED A SHOT OF HOPE FOR ALL OF US :) :):)

America's game. Not all of us can play in the majors. But we can all go play on that field in Iowa
I wonder if the old farmhouse is really there or not? I just answered my own question. I searched it above and the house is there and spectacular! I loved that movie. One of my favorites!
The feeling of the Americana
Thanks Mr.Costner for the Movies and thanks for never give up your Dreams. #1.
Terrific !!
This tugged at the heart strings for sure
Costner....To me....He's one of those actors whos hard to dislike.....he's a cool dude....Bull Durham Field Of Dreams The Bodyguard......He's had a great Hollywood Career....Respects....I liked Franks question were it ranked tho
I must have watched that film at least 10 times - absolutely brilliant!
I would like to add, I read a book titled "If I Never Get Back" quite a few years ago written by Darryl Brock. Its a great story about the very early years of organized baseball and the "first" professional team, the Cincinnati Reds. No way to explain the story line easily but if you like stories like "Field of Dreams", you would more than likely enjoy this.
The preparation, the design, the delay, the execution...THE GAME. I'd love to see this become a tradition, but in my heart...the only way for this to stay as perfect as it was is...no sequel. This should be the one and only time 'Field of Dreams' ever happens in MLB. Keep the field. Maintain the area...but no more productions. This was everything.
By the way Kevin looks great! What an iconic actor , family man and good person all around.
