james earl jones, ray liotta, but take a look right across the cornfield right over there that is homehat many people considered to be one of the hottest tickets and the history of baseball. new york yankee chicago white sox take into the field tomorrow night, thursday night. now this might be a regular season game. but there is nothing regular about it only 8000 tickets sold if you were able to land one of those seats, it's because you either one on a lottery if you were in iowa resident or you took to the secondhand market and paid upwards of thousands of dollars to be able to land a ticket now the reason this is so coveted is because this field just mean so much to so many different people, including someone i had the chance to speak with. i spoke one on one with kevin costner about his own memories on this field. and why this area this feel this dream just means so much to him. well, there's a there's a scene where i talk. think to spirit shoeless joe. i'm with amy, and it was before people were using a lot of special effects and this kind of weird little fog rolled in, and it just
