I've seen people comment that the Field of Dreams game should always be a White Sox home game. I agree with that. And by the time the 2027 game is played, the visiting team can be made up of modern-day players who got caught in gambling scandals.

Taylor Ward played in the Midwest League in 2015, for the Burlington Bees.
Wow. The Angels announced that they've acquired right-handed pitcher Grayson Rodriguez from the Orioles in exchange for Taylor Ward.
That's a pretty enormous trade for both clubs.

Bo Bichette just hit a three-run shot off the Flight Deck in centre field. 442 feet.
A career-defining moment for Bichette. Wow. Shohei Ohtani is walking off the mound.
#BlueJays up, 3-0.
