The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox will face off in the long-awaited MLB Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa on Thursday night. The game is being played near the site that hosted the film of the same name. Here’s how to watch the corn-filled affair.
Major League Baseball constructed a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark adjacent to the property used in the film, and the game will be the first MLB contest ever played in Iowa. The White Sox, featured prominently in the 1989 film, will be the home team. Both clubs will sport retro-style uniforms as they play against the visually appealing backdrop of a 159-acre cornfield. Lefty Andrew Heaney (7-8, 5.45 ERA) will start for the Yankees, facing White Sox Cy Young contender Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.04 ERA). Entering Thursday, the Yankees are two games out from the final AL wild card spot while the White Sox own a comfortable first-place lead in the AL Central.
“Field of Dreams” starred Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta, and was adapted from W.P. Kinsella’s 1982 novel “Shoeless Joe.” Costner, who called the new stadium “perfect,” is set to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
