From early ‘catch’ memories to managing together, ‘Field of Dreams’ gives Phillies another chance to recognize fathers and sons
DYERSVILLE, Iowa — Yes, ”Field of Dreams” is a movie about baseball. It is about a cornfield and an ambitious project. It is, tangentially, about the 1919 Chicago Black Sox. But more than anything, “Field of Dreams” is about a father and a son. Ray Kinsella, the main character played by Kevin Costner, builds the field […]
