Not necessarily

The evening news here is that while the Field of Dreams near Dyersville Iowa, built a new field and installed bleachers and sold tickets, today Major League Baseball decided to cancel the ballgame slated to be played at this famous site. So while years of quotations have come from this famous motion picture, the fact remains, where we live is not Heaven but it is Iowa. And most memorably a new twist, “If you build it, they will not necessarily come.”

In the days of big band music the bands ended some songs with a strangely orchestrated cacophony called a train wreck, I heard one just now.

The field has quite a following in Eastern Iowa . When I retired from the Parks Department I went to work selling athletic field supplies for a turf and landscape company. The Field of Dreams “managing agency” , something like the Dyersville commercial club, I can’t remember the name, bought calcined clay (Turface brand) from us as well as soil amendments, Bases, pitching rubbers, marking chalk etc. it’s a little amazing how long the interest has persevered and I know they were hoping against hope but its not to be this year at least.
