Iowa's first MLB game will be played next to the "Field of Dreams"

The New York Yankees are meeting the Chicago White Sox on Thursday at an Iowa cornfield that's been transformed into a "Field of Dreams."

In the film, the field is a place where dreams come true, and now, life imitates art. Major League Baseball spent years building the field next to the movie set. "Wow… feels perfect," actor Kevin Costner said of the field. Costner, who acted in the film, was given the opportunity to walk onto the field ahead of the historic game, which is the first MLB game played in Iowa.
