Bunch of honkies, in the middle of BFE, getting to watch baseball that was formerly played by one of the best ever, at a former negro field.

That’s master marketing.

Feels wrong that the Braves aren’t one of the teams

Any passed ball is 2 extra bases with that back stop. Holy hell.

Why can’t they keep the field of dreams game and add this as another event for a game.

Not sure anyone would want to go there for a game. Good way to get murdered

If they want to play a game or a few at old negro or historic parks cool. But there can only be one field of dreams game and that is the one played at the field of dreams in Iowa.

Umm... well then it's not the "Field of Dreams" game. It's a "Willie Mays once played here when in the Negro Leagues" game. That's cool and all but they should name it something that signifies it's honoring the Negro Leagues in specific and not glom it onto a completely different thing.

Is this a regular season game or spring training type game?
