Re: whether FoD is overhyped, or whatever. I recall it as a well made movie, but it didn't pack the emotional wallop for me personally because the central hook is the almost exact inverse of my relationship with my father.
We've always been close, but we never shared sports participation. We shared other interests, and we shared sports enjoyment. But my dad had poor eyesight as a child and his mom was overprotective, so he wasn't raised with contact sports and has been self-conscious about his abilities ever since. So I've never 'yearned' to do something to connect with my dad, and the many things we do do together never involved 'a catch.' But I can appreciate the emotional impact for others, . . . I just don't experience it myself.

Anybody watching the Fields of Dream game? Still one of the coolest things MLB does.

The wife and I visited there earlier this year. It was March, so there was no corn, but it was a neat experience. Plus, because of the time of year hardly anybody was there. We got a personal tour of the house, which has been restored to as close to movie condition as they could get it. And it is kind of surreal to stand on that mound and sit on that bleacher. I didn't know that Frank Thomas owns the place now.
I was surprised by how hilly the area was. Didn't really come across like that in the movie. |

Don't really watch baseball and only check the scores and standings once in a while. Made sure to watch the game last night (as the year before). Great showmanship for this game IMO. Also kind of taken back by Votto. Don't follow baseball so don't know him from a hill of beans, but, wow, very impressed with the man. Very well spoken and can just imagine the stories he could tell. Anybody that picks him up for broadcasting found a real gem in my opinion.

The phrase "have a catch" is odd.
"Play catch" is correct. Last edited by notorious; 08-12-2022 at 08:05 AM.. |
