The Giants and Cardinals will play in the 'Field of Dreams' game next season at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, per @sfchronicle

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.

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

They actually moved it up 8 feet. It used to be 90', now it's 82.
