Is it an iconic venue in a
cornfield in Iowa.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere
else and these 14 15 year olds
will be on display here today as
we give you a little look at the
pitcher's mound at home plate.
This is your opportunity to
debut on national TV the play
and we're going to announce the
game have fun with it.
So guys have fun first Espinal
Hentges the mechanics of it hit
the ball Haase squared off.
I'm try to do too much but we've
got to beat these guys as they
rise from New York.
We've got to beat these guys.
We got a two day sweep Jesus
today socks tomorrow night so
you guys go.
I'll just have fun and I'll get
your coat and your coaches done
a great job with you.
I know he's working hard but
this is what it's all about to
be on national TV.
Let the world see where it
starts.
All right guys have fun.
Have a good time man.
I wish you guys the best.
Schoop Bregman.
Hey hey hey hey.
Watch it.
So there's three things expect
you guys to do.
First of all we gonna have a lot
of fun.
That's most important.
But there's three principles
that I take very seriously as
your coach or your assistant
coach.
Number one we're looking for
hard contact.
Hard contact number two we're
looking for smart aggressive
baserunning intelligent
baserunning always heads up to
take the next base.
And number three we want to play
lock down defense because we
will be more disciplined than
them.
People think we're playing
baseball but it's really about
discipline.
So I need your concentration
defense on it 24/7.
Lastly we hate strikeouts.
We hate strike.
When I was your age if we struck
out our coach wouldn't even look
at us.
We want contact.
We want to fight for every
pitch.
If you have to choke up choke
up.
If we want hard ground balls
that line drives not home runs
hard ground balls up the middle.
And if we're getting lazy five
balls.
Guess what.
You owe me five setups five sit
ups.
All right let's bring in and
let's go to New York on three
New York bringing in fouls.
Come on boy.
Little energy.
Let Rougie.
That's all.
One two three.
That was terrible.
We got to do that again one more
time.
Come on fellas.
Come on.
What from the Yorke they got a
here's an Iowa one two three.
Right now we're talking now
we're talking.
Well John how nostalgic it feels
to be sitting on the porch to
the old Cancel a farmhouse here
the Field of Dreams and
Dyersville Iowa.
And you look out and see nothing
but corn and then this magical
baseball field.
What an unbelievable sight.
And I can't I mean I'm in all
right now.
I can't imagine what it's like
for some of the 14 and 15 year
olds playing today to play a
baseball game which is going to
happen in a minute or two.
You know we've had the privilege
of doing a lot of great events a
lot of big league games.
This is going to be one I'll
never forget.
And I'm sure this is one that
the team's never going to
forget.
When you're fourteen years old
and you're playing in any
tournament it's fun.
You want to compete.
You want to represent your city
and your team.
And then you think if you could
hit a home run in the cornfields
that is something you'll never
forget.
Not to mention across the way
the big league field and what's
going to be taking part.
I think this is a dream come
true for a lot of us and I think
especially for the 14 year olds
are going to have a blast.
By the way you're not doing your
part rocking enough.
I feel that I need to feel
Tsutsugo moment.
There you go.
See relaxing we are the field of
dreams.
And you know look we have no
holds barred here today.
Big Papi David Ortiz our roving
reporter.
This should be something else.
Papi I know you're with Team
Chicago.
Get us ready for this one man.
Man this is one in a lifetime.
Come here.
Come here come here.
Come here.
Come on man.
This is one in a lifetime of
Speas.
I hope this guy has so much fun
today.
I want to see somebody going
deep.
It's going to be about Biggio.
That's how far back to you cover
Papi.
I like it.
Roving reporter.
He's getting everyone ready to
go.
So we got A-Rod managing Big
Herget managing big Hearn wants
the sweep John.
He wants the Chicago Asa win and
the White Sox tomorrow.
He's getting a little greedy
don't you think.
He wants to represent us.
Why not.
You know he's he's feeling
pretty good about his current
team that he used to play for
until let's get Dillon from the
Field of Dreams.
In the first pitch is a ball
from Kolozsvary Thunderbird to
TJ Bradford as the visiting team
is the dream from Harlem New
York we get a look at the lefty
Thunderbird.
Wonder Lowe lychees by the
elements today.
It's very windy.
You can't tell the wind is going
to affect the ball in the air.
The wind is going to affect the
pitcher unless you're throwing
that Arcia fastball like he is.
And you know what I like already
a wind up.
I like the traditional wind up
going downhill and letting it go
huh.
I like the fact that two lefties
starting this game here this
afternoon from Iowa and then
yeah we're playing at a
cornfield by the way so these
kids have obviously never
experienced anything like that.
And that is right by him.
