Considering he batted righthanded, I would say so.


Well it's also because he's Henry Hill, and that role overshadows everything else he does.



“Field of Dreams” predated “Goodfellas”.

“Bull Durham” is always my #1 baseball movie because it has the most realistic feel of what baseball is and what it stands for. And Susan Sarandon was smoking hot.

Shelton was a minor leaguer though, so it’s almost autobiographical.


I don't care if it came out prior. When people see Liotta they see Henry Hill now.

Good Lord. They hand-planted the corn?

No thanks to that job.

I'm surprised how well this is working. The set-up and the field look great.

Ray Liotta sounds horrible. Is he sick?

He is on all of those anti-smoking commercials now. After 40 years of cigarettes there is going to be something wrong with you.

It's fun to hear them explain the difference between field corn and sweet corn.

If you get field corn young enough, you can eat it. It just isn't sweet and doesn't taste good.

Do they open the Del Monte annually for the sweet corn near your family homestead Doc?

They closed that place down a few years back I believe.

But, it paid my way through UofI.

This is a cool pregame. The Costner interview was fun with an unedited "shit" reference.

This game should be played on the original field, with only Costner, Amy Madigan, Timothy Busfield, Gaby Hoffmann and James Earl Jones in attendance.

I detasseled corn the summer before my senior year for DeKalb Ag. Love that memory.

Andrew Vaughn looks like a guy who’d have played in the early 1900s with a very folksy nickname.

No, I've been looking forward to this for two weeks. But they were trying to make this a quasi religious event.

Absolutely wonderful when Costner and the ball players walked out. Terrific rendition of the anthem by an Iowa native.

This is the first time in twenty years I've wanted a bigger tv and sound bar.

I stand corrected, these crickets are annoying.
