MLB’s new Field of Dreams game is a great idea on paper, but not in practice

There is a point, when you are driving to the Field of Dreams movie site just outside Dyersville, Iowa, where you begin to question if you’ve taken a wrong turn somewhere. There are beautiful farms all around, and more corn than you could conceivably imagine, but what there is not, is a single sign indicating the famous farm is anywhere nearby.

Then it appears, almost out of nowhere, and you are dropped right in the middle of the iconic Kevin Costner film. The field is small, charming, and loaded with families attempting to play a quick game of baseball with children who may have never seen the film at all.
