I wonder when someone will be offended by Guardians?


I am already offended by Guardians.

Now the Edmonton Eskimos have become the Edmonton Elks, all of a sudden.

Worth another look. A dream ending walk-off homerun for the win, bottom of the 9th, at the Field of Dreams! An amazing back and forth 9th inning and then a walk-off cornshot.
(65) WILD FINISH IN IOWA! Judge, Stanton, and Tim Anderson all go deep in INSANE 9th inning! - YouTube

This  is the most remarkable field entrance I have seen sports teams make.

Not to mention a most electrifying ending.

Hopefully it's an annual thing, but no more.  Don't ruin it like the NHL did with their outdoor games

In the hour before the game MLB commissioner said it would be played next year but they were not prepared to announce teams. MLB will disassemble the stadium and erect it again next year. One of our locals said an MLB official was speculating it could be Cubs-Cardinals.

Being a White Sox fan and fan of the movie, I'd like to see the White Sox invest in the ballpark call it their alternate home stadium, schedule a game in Dyersville once a year, rotate visiting teams, and lobby to put Shoeless Joe in the Hall, as MLB is profiting off his story.

There are extensive articles in the local paper today. Tim Anderson was quoted as saying he might watch the movie. I had the feeling from player and club management interviews that most had already seen it.

I thought a "walk-off corn shot" was an XXX term.

I thought Costner was being weird and grandstanding, waiting for a big applause until the players came out...and then it was like "WOOOOO WOWW YESSS"

That was pretty cool.
