Count me among the few who missed out on this year’s version of the Field of Dreams game. And after seeing a gambling site advertisement, I’m not sorry I missed MLB’s latest shill for $. I have no doubt that Netflix pulled at the game’s heart strings, but I wonder if they mentioned one of the great former Twin/Phillie, Larry Hisle.

I didn’t come to bury Caesar, but rather to praise him. I’m trying to figure if MLB schedule creators stumbled into dumb luck or had a stroke of genius when they decided on Cubs-Cardinals and Tigers-White Sox immediately before Cubs-White Sox series. If things go according to plan, both Chicago teams will be in first place on Monday. Playing (legit) division rivals with something on the line is far better than any contrived game at a gimmicky park in my world.
