The first MLB Field of Dreams Game in 2021 was a masterclass in nostalgia. The league figured out a new way to tug at fans' heartstrings in their follow-up.
Thursday's Field of Dreams Game, played between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, opened with MLB Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. and his father, three-time All-Star Ken Griffey, playing catch in the outfield.
"Hey dad, want to have a catch?" the younger Griffey said after emerging from the iconic cornfield.
After a precious few moments, including father bobbling the first toss from son, more father-son and father-daughter duos emerged to take part, followed by players from the teams playing that night.
