“What Dreams Are You Fielding?”

Some Things Never Change

Twenty-five years later, I reacted the same way.

To mark its 25^th anniversary, my wife and I watched “Field of Dreams” on Turner Classic Movies. At the end, Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) recognizes that one of the ball players who shows up from the past is his father as a young man. Ray introduces his dad to his wife and daughter, then asks him to play catch.

As father and son throw the baseball on the field of dreams, the impact hit me just as hard as it did in the theater in 1989.
