Field of Dreams"-----WhiteSox vs. Yankees
Go the distance. Building a machine to protect nature. Build it and he will come.
I often feel like this guy …
building a “machine” to protect nature.
It was fun to see the Yankees and White Sox playing at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville a couple days ago and hear Kevin Costner’s intro.
Growing up in Clinton, Iowa and Waterloo Iowa … I spent a lot of time in cornfields … detasseling, taking the “short-cut” to school, playing, dreaming.
What the hell is Jed doing?
“What the hell is he doing?
He’s plowing under his corn.”
…
“You’re crazy. Absolutely nuts.”
…
“This stupid baseball field will bankrupt you. Everybody knows it.”
…
“If you default on your loan, you’ll lose everything.”
…
“Ray, you build a baseball field in the middle of nowhere…and you stare at nothing.”
…
“You’re broke Ray.”
…
“When the bank opens in the morning, they’ll foreclose.”
…
“Daddy, we don’t need to sell the farm.”
…
“Ray, you’ll lose everything. You’ll be evicted.”
…
“Karin, please. Just wait! Wait! People will come.”
“People will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.” People will come, Ray. They’ll come to lowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door as innocent as children..longing for the past.”Of course, we won’t mind if you look around,” you’ll say.”It’s only $ per person.” They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack.”
