Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/FlynnLive5]

I’m so glad they hammed it up. I want this to be the yearly special event.

Except with less “I can make your hands clap”

[u/slyfox1908 → u/FlynnLive5]

I ran the soundboard for a minor league club one summer and let me tell you, you haven’t felt true power until you make thousands of people clap their hands with the click of a button. It ALWAYS works.

[u/chuuuch → u/slyfox1908]

Sounds like a great experience.

[u/slyfox1908 → u/chuuuch]

FREEZE! Everybody clap your hands! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[u/RagingAcid → u/slyfox1908]

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[u/DFWTrojanTuba → u/slyfox1908]

The first club I worked for we had a rule that we only played “Everybody clap your hands” once per game. It was a good rule.

[u/DollarsAtStarNumber → u/slyfox1908]

"It's been three hours. The sound board man still won't let us stop clapping."

[u/TodSpengo → u/FlynnLive5]

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT! ! !

[u/Obi_Wan_Benobi → u/TodSpengo]

A tad jarring.

[u/Luchador-Malrico → u/FlynnLive5]

With all the hype MLB put onto this game, I still can’t believe it more than exceeded it.

[u/seth928 → u/FlynnLive5]

They played some classic songs of yesteryear too.

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?

[u/jmorlin → u/FlynnLive5]

Yeah. I do wish they had stuck with just organ music.

[u/CommonerChaos → u/FlynnLive5]

8 combined HR's, each team's star players showing out, and a walkoff homer. This couldn't have been a better showcase for making this a yearly event.

[u/AnthonyWeiner_AMA → u/FlynnLive5]

There was no way to go but it being insanely corny

[u/The_Corn_Whisperer → u/AnthonyWeiner_AMA]

I like corn

[u/Joedude12345 → u/FlynnLive5]

I dont get how you do it without the White Sox but sounds like thats the plan

[u/TheThoroughCrocodile → u/Joedude12345]

It probably makes more sense to pick new teams every year but I could sorta see this being like a cool CWS tradition like the Lions and Cowboys always having Thanksgiving games.

[u/StormTheTrooper → u/TheThoroughCrocodile]

Yes, this would be the ideal outcome. Something in line with what the NFL do with Thanksgiving, but they could try playing the White Sox against the teams of that 1919 season run. Against the Reds next year, the Tigers on the other.

I can understand the need of a team that attracts ratings, but making this a legacy game would be so cool.

[u/Mr_HouTXon → u/FlynnLive5]

They should finish the series there too if they do it again, I think that would be cool getting a 3 game set out of it.

[u/yearsreeling → u/Mr_HouTXon]

This should of been the plan from the start, then more fans could’ve gone.

[u/GoPadres19]

BASEBALL IS THE BEST

[u/TigerBasket → u/GoPadres19]

Love it more than a lot of things

[u/see_mohn]

There were 8 home runs in that game. in 1919 Shoeless Joe Jackson hit 7 home runs to lead the team

[u/chickenmanE1007 → u/see_mohn]

There were also 8 white Sox players banned from black Sox scandal.

[u/icanhazpbr → u/chickenmanE1007]

In 2008, Nadya Suleman gave birth to 8 babies, earning her the nickname Octomom.

[u/allaoc → u/icanhazpbr]

In 2008, Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals at the Olympic Games, setting an all-time record.

[u/the2belo → u/allaoc]

In 1998, Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, plummeting 16 feet into an announcer's table, which is 8 feet x 2.

[u/hiphopthewalrus → u/see_mohn]

One of those was to walk off the Yankees

[u/PHLdawg]

Need this every year. That was fucking awesome.

[u/GoldGlove2720 → u/PHLdawg]

Please give it to other teams though MLB. I wanna experience that as a neutral fan. That 9th inning was a rollercoaster.

[u/smellyjerk → u/GoldGlove2720]

I agree and I don't, I'd like to see it and at the same time it would be weird af without them. Cubs play the Red Sox next year, that would be cool af tho

[u/bewarethesloth → u/smellyjerk]

I bet it’ll be that, or Cubs vs Reds

[u/weedysexdragon → u/bewarethesloth]

It should be Sox vs Reds so we can we redo the 1919 World Series. Someday.

[u/River_Pigeon → u/bewarethesloth]

This is way better

[u/PHLdawg → u/GoldGlove2720]

Yeah for sure.

[u/Lineman72T]

And to think, Annie's brother Mark wanted them to sell that field...

[u/Tommy_like_wingie → u/Lineman72T]

You can’t sell this field Ray

[u/georgstgeegland → u/Tommy_like_wingie]

As he throws their daughter off the bleachers

[u/Tsquare24 → u/Lineman72T]

Timothy Bussfield was actually a pretty good ball player. He was also in the movie ‘Little Big League’

[u/Zloggt]

Me before game: “Yay, I love playing in Iowa!”

Me during most of the game: “Yay, I love Iowa!”

Me after top of the 9th: “I don’t want to play in Iowa anymore.”

Me now: “I FUCKING LOVE IOWA!!”

[u/TigerBasket → u/Zloggt]

Iowa has da best corn

[u/PCON36 → u/TigerBasket]

you have been banned from Nebraska

[u/CarrollPC → u/PCON36]

Worth it

[u/B0rf_ → u/PCON36]

Not like anyone has willingly gone there anyway

[u/stoppedcaring0 → u/B0rf_]

Not true

Nebraska is how you get to Colorado for many people

[u/AnthonyWeiner_AMA → u/PCON36]

I'd take it to be in Iowa's good graces

[u/Maosdong → u/TigerBasket]

Extremely controversial opinion if this were a Big 10 game's thread

[u/Spartan_029]

I normally have a tough time really getting into games that don't have my team in it, in any sport (though baseball with non-teams is a perfect background to summer).

But what a completely, thoroughly enjoyable game. All the specials, all the fanfare, and the intimate atmosphere. And to top it all off, a great game to watch, crowned with a walkoff home run. It really is what dreams are made of.

Can't wait to see this game in future years, and of course I can't wait for our turn to play!

[u/slagnanz → u/Spartan_029]

And as much as I'm normally not a fan of the whole fox / national media production style, I was enamored the whole game. The interviews, the scorebug, the scenes from the movie. Ugggg

[u/Spartan_029 → u/slagnanz]

the lack of permanent strike zone defiling our TV screens

[u/ryguy32789 → u/Spartan_029]

Being from Iowa should not have been the primary factor in choosing the home plate ump for this one

[u/slayerje1 → u/Spartan_029]

I don't know if I prefer it off of the screen. That was a trip trying to make out the zone while the ump had his own inconsistent one. I kinda liked guessing each pitch. The pitches are going to be called the way they are regardless if I see the zone or not.

[u/ArbyLG]

This could not have been a better game in a literal dream location. What an incredible ninth inning that lived up to the game's magical status and somehow exceeded the hype going in.

I can only hope this starts a trend for baseball where teams play in locations across the country (1 game a year for each team would be awesome). Growing up, seeing a Royals game in Wichita would have been an unforgettable moment in my childhood (I grew up in rural, south central Kansas and it was tough to make it to KC). The Royals regularly playing in Fayetteville and Omaha as well makes too much sense. The Royals recent game in Omaha to honor their AAA team and the college World Series in 2019 didn't have this backdrop and hype but was awesome all the same.

For the first time in recent memory, the MLB did everything right today and I'm going to savor this one for a while.

[u/RabbertKlien → u/ArbyLG]

Pretty sure I heard on Talkin' Baseball that it's going to be a yearly event.

[u/Bodmonriddlz → u/RabbertKlien]

Honestly it should be the white Sox game. Rotate the other team but always white Sox home team

[u/Neat_On_The_Rocks → u/Bodmonriddlz]

I get that everyone wants a crack at it and there is money to be made from mixing multiple teams in each year.

But even from a marketing perspective, the long play is to make it the whitesox”s game.

If you rotate both teams around every single year, it WILL lose the magic, and rapidly. Obviously it will lose some magic regardless

But the key to longevity here is to really lean into making it feel like a tradition. The best way to do that is to make at least one of the teams a constant. Just ask rhe NFL with the cowboys and lions on thanksgiving.

If you make it a whitesox home game, it will have staying power.

Easy for me to say as a Sox fan of course e

[u/FootballCraft → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

They’re the main team in the film and it’s only a few hours drive outside of Chicago. Makes total sense to me.

[u/bdobs → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

It would really be a really cool way for MLB to turn the Black Sox scandal into one of the premier sports events of the year, in a very roundabout way of course

[u/ogminlo → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

I agree the White Sox should get to host this Iowa game annually, but I’d add that MLB should lean even harder on the 100 years ago feel and get the umps wearing bow ties, the pop music off the PA system, get the sponsors to submit old timey billboard designs for the field, and the visiting clubs need to have existed in 1919. These Johnny-come-lately outfits like the Angels or Astros can sit this one out!

Then add a whole MLB Barnstorming Series where clubs around the country host special games at out-of-the-way MiLB ballparks similar to how the NHL grew the one New Years outdoor game into several similar games each season. There are some really interesting MiLB yards that would make for a fun dog-days spectacle, even if there isn’t a movie tie-in.

[u/AViciousGrape → u/Bodmonriddlz]

Agreed. The White Sox should be the home team every year.

[u/slayerje1 → u/AViciousGrape]

Also being located so close to Chicago(3.5 hour drive) for easy travel back to the city is another reason. Would like to see the Reds as an opponent since they were the opponent to the 1919 White Sox in the thrown World Series.

[u/ArbyLG → u/Bodmonriddlz]

If the Detroit Lions can have Thanksgiving the White Sox are 100x more deserving to have this game.

[u/EarthWarping → u/ArbyLG]

Jays in Alberta/Saskatchewan would be grand

[u/ElCaz → u/EarthWarping]

Ah, the old Field of RapCanola Game.

[u/BlueOrBust → u/ArbyLG]

I don't think one game is enough. If a team builds a small facility (<10k) in a beautiful rural setting within an hour or two of their home park, they should aim for 10-15 games a year. Imagine the Giants playing in Napa wine country; the Brewers in the Wisconsin Dells; the Yankees in White Plains; or the Red Sox along the coast of Maine. Makes season tickets at the main field more accessible, you can sell alternate site events for 2-3x normal prices, and each remote game is a TV event.

Baseball is fundamentally a pastoral game and they'd be idiots not to capitalize off of the success of this Field of Dreams game.

[u/ReginaldKenDwight → u/BlueOrBust]

lol no one wants a brewers game in the dells, unless its cubs fans maybe.

[u/texas1hunter → u/ReginaldKenDwight]

Sorry but all the Naperville families are actually White Sox fans this year

[u/mikecws91 → u/texas1hunter]

They're too scared to come to the ballpark though.

[u/PompousWombat → u/mikecws91]

Did you know the ballpark is on the southside? Yikes!

[u/ElectJimLahey → u/ArbyLG]

MLB teams should play a series a year in their AAA/AA/A affiliates stadiums or something like that

[u/TwistedBasket → u/ElectJimLahey]

Blue Jays..."been there, done that"

[u/drunkenmormon]

I love baseball.

[u/GoldGlove2720 → u/drunkenmormon]

I did not in the top of the 9th.

Rare win for Rob Manfred tonight!

I'll give him a 1 week pass from all criticism for pulling off this event so flawlessly!

[u/ReasonNumber1312 → u/GroMicroBloom]

Forcing SDStudios to bring The Show to xbox this year was an underappreciated win this year, too. It has made me more interested in baseball than I've been in years, and I'm actually watching games again.

[u/steezefabreeze → u/ReasonNumber1312]

Yep. I hear so many people talk about how they now play the Show and ditched Madden, 2K, etc cause DD is way better than UT. These aren't baseball fans either. Didn't know Manfred had a play in it coming to Xbox, though.

[u/cougar572]

Game lived up to the hype

It's the mid-9th.

Liam Hendricks has just lost the lead.

Tim Anderson is headed for the dugout.

He hears a voice not coming from the crowd or a teammate.

"Ease his pain."

[u/FletcherCollector]

Game of Dreams.

[u/brandon_the_bald]

I’m curious on how far all those HR’s actually went

[u/g3neraL5 → u/brandon_the_bald]

They broke the space time continuum. Some kid in early 20th century Iowa is playing catch with them as we speak.

[u/nos_quasi_alieni → u/brandon_the_bald]

I wonder if anyone was rummaging around there trying to collect the HR balls

[u/legobmw99 → u/nos_quasi_alieni]

Someone got the first one according to Buck

[u/finaljustice09 → u/legobmw99]

If the finder can somehow get it authenticated it'll be worth a mint

[u/codywelter]

"This field, this game: it's a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again."

The beauty and romance of this quote was captured perfectly throughout this game but none moreso than in that final moment. Fucking baseball man.

[u/EarthWarping]

Top 2 Game of the season.

Playoff-esque atmosphere

[u/OrdinaryToucan3136 → u/EarthWarping]

Which is saying something since the attendance was only 7,832. I would love for someone who went to the game to do an ama. It must've been an incredible atmosphere there

[u/notrandyjackson → u/OrdinaryToucan3136]

It sounded really quiet at the start though. I don't know if people were just taking it all in, but it was a low energy crowd at first. Thankfully, they got rowdy towards the end there.

[u/FringeAuthority → u/OrdinaryToucan3136]

I think it helps that it's 7,832 all sitting next to each other. If it was in a MLB stadium, they'd be scattered around with 30,000 empty seats among them.

[u/CyJack22 → u/OrdinaryToucan3136]

If you ever need to show a game of baseball to someone that's never seen it before, this is the game you choose. Just amazing.

[u/NameIsPetey]

I enjoyed the end of this game.

[u/jmorlin → u/NameIsPetey]

Every second of this game was objectively good baseball even if Hendricks blowing the save made me damn near suicidal. This couldn't have gone better if it was scripted.

It had plenty of corn shots. A bit of small ball. Flashes of brilliant pitching. Even a bit of the ump show (for those who get off to that).

I honestly feel bad that a team had to lose what is objectively one of, if not the best baseball game in recent memory.

10/10

[u/NameIsPetey → u/jmorlin]

Totally agree. Great game, awesome backdrop. Lead changes. Walk off in the bottom of the 9th. Yankees lose.

11/10

[u/boxing_packages → u/jmorlin]

I feel the same. I'm real sad about the loss, but it made for great baseball. Game is an instant classic

[u/jmorlin → u/boxing_packages]

Absolutely. Highlights of this game will be played back 50 years from now. And my geriatric ass will be sitting in the nursing home telling my grand kids how I was watching this play out live.

[u/49ersP1 → u/jmorlin]

I actually called Judge hitting a home run off Hendricks to make it a 1 run game in the 9th a few days ago

The actual ending was way better then I ever could have drew up however

[u/mrcarlita → u/NameIsPetey]

Those fireworks in a cornfield made me anxious tho

[u/g3neraL5 → u/mrcarlita]

Mlb stole all the water from California to keep everything green. That spot will be fine.

[u/Flat_News_9381 → u/mrcarlita]

Corn isn't dry enough to catch fire.

[u/ZaneChizzlenack → u/NameIsPetey]

Genuinely made my night. I’m more content with whatever outcome happens in our game tonight. Unless we lose how the Yankees did….

[u/TigerBasket → u/NameIsPetey]

I had fun, and now I get to see Othani Pitch!

[u/mookyyyy]

I am immune to losing like this at this point.

[u/CarrotGole45 → u/mookyyyy]

Right. Like I can name losses that hurt more - this year alone the astros game, the red Sox game, the angels game… and don’t even mention our last few playoff runs lol. This team under this management is gonna keep doing this to us

[u/abris33]

Yes, sign me up for this annually please. Absolutely nailed it all around. I understand it might be more "magical" to have it once, but I feel like you have to take advantage of this every year. I guarantee tons of people fell in love with the game tonight

[u/Hochseeflotte]

Aaron Boone has cost the Yankees 10 games minimum this year.

Worst manager in baseball. Loasigia is right there but Boone is a fucking idiot.

[u/GoSox1992]

Winning aside this was a fantastic game for the MLB. Hyping this game up and trying to draw in interest from other crowds and this could not have gone any better on national television. Just a great night for baseball

[u/plez23]

That Iowa sunset during the top of the 6th 🤌

[u/ryguy32789 → u/plez23]

You can't tell me that wasn't heaven

[u/i_run_from_problems]

Idk about you guys, but I say this should be an annual thing

[u/Bahamas_is_relevant]

Instant classic.

Absolute masterclass for the league. You win this one, Manfred.

[u/OvertimeWr]

That was one of the best games I've seen. Everything from the atmosphere to the walkout to the finish was amazing.

[u/rhcpbassist234]

That was an incredible game. James Earl Jones bless Tim Anderson.

That really was a fantastic ending. Couldn't have been scripted any better.

Somewhere, a kid who is watching baseball for the first time, just fell in love with the game for life.

most importantly, DAAAAAAA JANKEES LOSE

[u/john_the_fisherman → u/whydidijointhis]

After Tim's shot it looked like there was a kid waiting in the corn maze behind the stadium hunting for HR balls. How cool would it be to get that ball

[u/Kvetch__22 → u/whydidijointhis]

That kid is me. And I'm a grown ass man.

[u/B0rf_ → u/whydidijointhis]

This whole game couldn't have been scripted better.

Perfect night with beautiful skies Battle between teams A walk off HR for the Yankees to lose. I mean it's incredible

[u/willofthemaster → u/whydidijointhis]

DAAAAAA JANKEES LOSE

[u/kerph32]

I've watched the full 9th inning thrice now and I just can't get enough of it. Huge win for baseball and MLB tonight. Cheers y'all. One for the ages.

[u/chief_of_beer]

What a magical night. Never have I felt so close to being a kid again.

[u/ReseesRKingCandy]

One of the best baseball games ever played

[u/VerifiedThing]

Never a doubt. Nope. No doubts at all.

[u/MacStumpy]

Tim Anderson: Corn Star

[u/FPG_Matthew]

Next year, I think the FoD game needs to be the only game in baseball at that time. All other regular season games should start before that so all fans can witness the magic.

[u/fosherman → u/FPG_Matthew]

The majority of this game was played without other games happening. Most games started before 3pm central, and after 8:30 central.

[u/MarioMoon]

Incredible. What an amazing experience and game!!

[u/Daankeykang]

That was some good stuff. Drama, theatrics, dingers, corn. I usually don't care about baseballs "attractiveness" as a sport but how can you get better than that?

[u/chiwetel_steele]

as a baseball fan, that was one of the best games i've ever seen

as a yankees fan, i want to fucking die

edit: also this game proved that juiced balls are fun and we should go back to them

[u/jmorlin → u/chiwetel_steele]

Tin foil hat time:

MLB juiced the balls for tonight so we could maximize corn balls.

[u/moistful_fetus]

Coolest ending to a baseball game ever. And I don't even like either team. I literally had tear in my eye, my god baseball is amazing.

[u/TheGOAT4Ever]

Thank you Chicago

[u/wickla → u/TheGOAT4Ever]

No prob, Canada bro.

[u/TrapperJean]

Honestly im just happy that terrible call on what should have been strike three for Kopech didn't impact this great fucking game

[u/JayMerlyn → u/TrapperJean]

Me too tbh.

[u/greghardysfuton → u/TrapperJean]

Never seen Kopech close to that heated before that I can recall. He was fired up tonight. What’s crazy is supposedly Hoberg is one of the very best umpires on the UmpScorecards this year. He seemed really shaky tonight

[u/TheDangiestSlad]

i think perhaps i would have changed one tiny thing about this game but other than that it was heaven

[u/ThwipAway → u/TheDangiestSlad]

You also think the bats should’ve been painted to look like corn?

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/ThwipAway]

yeah and Judge should've eaten one

[u/MC620]

mlb took a fatass W tonight.

also this is my monthly reminder that we need snb on fox someday. the pregame / postgame shows with the fox lads are genuinely enjoyable.

[u/GayToddsAsshole]

Perfect ending

[u/ScroogeMcFuck69]

Field of wet dreams

[u/That_Geek]

🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

[u/Meatbag96]

Sandlot game when?

[u/Haacker45 → u/Meatbag96]

So they have a large dog on the other side of the fence?

[u/NPH_wouldnt_do_that → u/Haacker45]

And James Earl Jones with the dog watching the whole game from a rocking chair on the porch.

[u/jmandawgfan]

Wow.

[u/CWG4BF]

Go the distance…

[u/JayMerlyn]

Man, what a roller coaster of emotions for that last inning.

[u/sweetanna94]

The most entertaining regular season, nationally televised game I've ever watched. Manfred has to be doing cartwheels right now.

[u/nard_bagman]

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

[u/Bombboy85]

People that say baseball sucks have no soul and are people that I don’t want to know.

[u/crazycarrotlady]

That was awesome! What a beautiful setting and exciting way to end the game.

[u/uncle_Vernon]

This was so cool

[u/PipeGuy64Bit]

I wasn't expecting an exciting end but man I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the high point of my day was going to my first ever doubleheader at Citi Field.

[u/ssjgotenks]

Wow what a game. Disappointed yanks lost but that’s everything you want from the field of dreams games. Wish I coulda enjoyed as a neutral fan

Gg white Sox

Same time next year ?

[u/battle_schip]

Juiced ball or not, that game was a treat!

NOW MAKE IT A YEARLY TRADITION MLB!

[u/Kylo_Ren415]

Was that Heaven?

What an awesome game.

[u/baseballv10]

Watching highlights, was the camera angle different? Seemed to be a camera angle you see in College games, or am I just not seeing things right?

[u/Ayohmaggotss]

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

[u/dbtizzle]

As I said before: Ope, just gonna take this W here

[u/HilltopHood]

This event is good for the game of baseball. Real good.
