FIELD OF DREAMS GAME STILL ON SCHEDULE

August seems like a long way away.  And well it should be as August to me is the Sunday of summer; the anxious time we feel when summer is coming to an end and school time is ramping back up for many families. Yet, this year, eerily, I could be on board with August right now, particularly if the Field of Dreams game is still on tap and ready to go.

"Major League Baseball has yet to determine whether there will be a season because of the spread of the coronavirus across the U.S. But construction continues on the tiny Iowa ballpark where a game is still scheduled to be played between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox on August 13 at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, a source told Boomskie on Baseball this week and MLB confirmed," reported Forbes on Saturday.

If you build it, he will come...any game, any time is good for me.  I miss baseball so much.  I tried to get into the virtual NFL Draft, and as a New York Giant fan, I am excited about the prospects, but it's not baseball.  And who am I kidding? I would have flipped between the draft and the Yankee game on Thursday and Friday nights.

If and when baseball does starts, it is also good to hear that besides getting the Field of Dreams park ready for game time, the 30 other ball parks are in good, safe hands too.

"In addition to that construction, grounds keepers and maintenance crews are attending to the 30 big-league fields and stadiums throughout North America in the remote case that baseball eventually will begin," reported Forbes.

Each weekend that goes by during this pandemic is another weekend that baseball is delayed.  April flew by in an instant.  I hope May takes it a little slower and as it slows its pace, baseball ramps up and climbs its way back. And before we know it, we will be anticipating the Field of Dreams game and appreciating baseball more than ever.
