The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox will play Thursday in the first MLB game at a new ballpark built near the site of the 1989 movie. The field was built as an homage to Field of Dreams, complete with a cornfield behind the outfield wall and similar aesthetics around the stadium.
Players will also wear throwback uniforms to complete the feel.
It's pretty clear MLB has itself a winner; the contest is one of the most talked-about regular-season baseball games in recent memory. A branding similar to how the NHL handles the Winter Classic seems inevitable.ย ย
