DYERSVILLE, Iowa — The genius of “Field of Dreams,” and maybe the reason the film endures, is it knows it should not make sense. Voices in the cornstalks tell a farmer to build a baseball field for ghosts. Some people can’t see it. They are rational, so they don’t get it. It’s their loss.
Major League Baseball will stage a real game here on Thursday, with the Yankees playing the Chicago White Sox, on a new field two Joey Gallo moonshots away from the original. Players will weave through the cornfield at the movie site and walk a path to their diamond.
