If they appear, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and Archibald “Moonlight” Graham<\/a> will only be there in spirit. But for one night, big leaguers will play baseball at the Iowa farm that was made famous in the beloved film Field of Dreams<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox will face off at the Dyersville, Iowa, farm next August, Major League Baseball announced Thursday. The game will count as part of the regular season \u2014 starting a three-game series between the Yankees and White Sox. The two teams will then have one day off as they travel to Chicago to finish out the series.<\/p>\n

The game is slated for the night of Aug. 13, 2020 \u2014 three decades after Field of Dreams<\/em> debuted in 1989. But Aaron Judge and his fellow MLB stars won’t be playing on the same diamond that was created for the Kevin Costner movie. Instead, they’ll play at a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark. <\/p>\n

“As a sport that is proud of its history linking generations, Major League Baseball is excited to bring a regular season game to the site of Field of Dreams,<\/em>” MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. said<\/a>. “We look forward to celebrating the movie’s enduring message of how baseball brings people together at this special cornfield in Iowa.”<\/p>\n
