What do you think of these intros?

[@loverofcalifornia3619]

Making me cry good tears. Now, please do a documentary about why so many good players come from the Dominican Republic.

Made me cry legit cry I so badly wanted to go maybe next year but for now good game also was the kid in the intro the one who actully found tim Anderson walk off home run

[@gjbenavides5269]

My thoughts exactly, I was balling like a baby because of nostalgia and well because I am a fan if the Cubs win or lose. Now seeing all the old Cubs players was epic and to see the old great Reds players was awesome. Can't get Amy better then the game of baseball in its true essence!

Eh it's a whitesox movie. Cubs don't belong in it.should be sox annually an just against other teams.but Ken griffy Jr my favorite growing up.. he was the best if he didn't get injured wrists n hamstring tears n stuff he would been the clean guy to break all the records.

Just like watching the movie, seeing all of these legends take the field again gives me chills. What a joy to see the Griffey's father and son out there together. I'm a hometown Cincinnati Reds fan and it's always nice to see my heroes again. I was just remembering the Big Red Machine and the players. Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Davey Concepcion, and all the others. And I can't forget Sparky Anderson. Yes, even Pete Rose. And my favorite commentator Joe Nuxhall (Daddy Joe)! I wish Joe could be there to take the field just one more time.

MLB has an actual Field of Dreams that is not from a fictional movie -- Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, N.Y. -- which could be used for a regular season game after the HOF induction ceremony. Make that weekend a salute to fans: all Saturday MLB games are twi-night doubleheaders, while at Doubleday, the participating teams conduct brief practices w/ a longer autograph session that's free to fans. On Sunday, the ceremony begins early afternoon and airs on ABC or ESPN....and the game is the only one scheduled and airs in the evening on ESPN or ABC and ESPN Radio.

[@d_boss_mxk9712]

Around the same time this was happening Indiana little league team's Graham Vinson hit a walk off to send his team to the little league world series and in the celebration he jumped into his dads arms who is the coach of the team. It really can be a magical game. That's kind of what field of dreams was all about I think.

Y'all done got me tearing up a little bit with this one.

[@peymang]

I moved here from Iran when I was 2. I'm now 44. I gravitated toward baseball very young, despite my dad's hate for the game. Why did he hate it? He's from the old country. In Iran, wrestling and soccer are the main pastimes. But his main reason for hating the game was the fact players would spit on the ground..these were the days everyone was chewing dip. He said this it's a classless sport because of that...lol....I was different. Grew up in LA listening to Vin Scully, and to this day bleed Dodger Blue. Looking back, I feel it was baseball that solidified my identity as an American. I'm proud of my roots, as Persians are an ancient people who contributed quite a bit to this world....but I'm an American first and foremost. It was baseball that made me feel that in my heart. In a few weeks I will be taking my son to his first game at Dodger stadium. I don't care if the NFL gets most of the ratings and all that, it's baseball that hits the heart and is truely our national pastime.

MLB, don't ever get rid of this game. This is such an amazing experience, even to just watch on TV. Any diehard baseball fan has some sort of memory of this movie and what it means to the sport. Yes, it's just a movie, and sure, some of this might seem a little cringe-y, but to me, this game exemplifies what the sport is: A great way to spend quality time with friends, family, and for many their fathers. I love that it is just one game a year - it keeps the game special. I'm sure most players who have and will have this experience will attest to how meaningful it is. For all the bad that MLB and Manfred has done over the years, this is a bright spot. Kudos for another great edition of this game

Fantastic intro. Could you imagine playing a game of catch on that field, most definitely a field of dreams. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and went to a lot of baseball games. First with my dad, then later with friends. My dad and I would play catch in our front yard. He passed away in 1974, I was 24 and just starting my own family. My kids never got to play catch with him, I played catch with them and coached the little league team. We later lived in NC and there was a Cleveland minor league team there, we were regulars. Even got tickets to go home for a game. Would give almost anything to play catch with my dad once more.
