Don’t ask us how they got out there among the hoi-est of polloi — actually, Brett did ask! — but Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and her husband and partner-in-ballpark-travels, Shaun, take us through the magical, inaugural Field of Dreams Game, two years ago today:
Getting tickets! “Shaun, I’ve got some good news, and some bad news ...”
Hey, let’s get in the car and drive four hours to a baseball game! And back!
Did Melissa employ a “Queen’s wave” as Iowans lined the roadways to greet fans attending the game
Pregame outside the park, including Steinbrenners cutting the concession lines
Pregame inside the park, with kudos for MLB putting on an A+ show
In-game, including Hands across America, as fans of all stripes show up for the game to unify in rooting against the Yankees
The corn went Hollywood
José took one to the corn
Mood swings late — and was it the White Sox or Cubs fan who preached patience and practiced optimism as the South Siders appeared ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
THE ENDING
Where this game ranks as an attendee, all-time
A “bonus” discussion of Field of Dreams, the movie
