MLB Stars Emerge From Cornfield
Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins face off in Iowa as 26 Hall of Famers appear in nostalgic Field of Dreams game streamed live on Netflix
The Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins played in the third-ever Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa, with the game being streamed live on Netflix. The game was played at a custom-built ballpark next to the cornfield featured in the 1989 movie 'Field of Dreams'.
The movie 'Field of Dreams' is not based on a true story, but it is inspired by real baseball history, including the 1919 Black Sox scandal. The game did not use Automatic Balls and Strikes (ABS) challenges.
The Philadelphia Phillies added 28-year-old outfielder Kameron Misner to their roster for the game. The game started at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, August 13.
The Field of Dreams game was the third MLB game played in Iowa. Before the game, 26 members of the Hall of Fame emerged from the outfield corn.
## Background The 'Field of Dreams' movie has been an iconic sports movie since it was released in 1989, romanticizing baseball in a way that very few sports movies have done in the past. The movie made a lasting impact on baseball culture, to the point where Major League Baseball wanted to tap into the nostalgia over three decades later.
