Major League Baseball got some excellent publicity and a storybook walkoff ending with their Field of Dreams game between the White Sox and Yankees last week.
There had been rumors flying recently that there would be another such game played in 2022 and that the Cubs would be involved. Commissioner Rob Manfred pretty much said so, without mentioning the Cubs, in Iowa last week.
Now, per Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago, we have some details:
Major league sources confirmed the Reds will be the Cubs’ opponent in next year’s Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa, one year after MLB staged the highly successful inaugural game that featured White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson’s walkoff homer into the corn to beat the Yankees.
