Let’s go back in time in our time machine and change a few things to make a Field of Dreams story.

It’s 1927 and Shoeless Joe is allowed to return to the major leagues; he gets traded from the White Sox (Black Sox) to the Cubs. 

Shoeless Joe hits 410 during the regular season and leads his new team to the National League pennant; Babe Ruth has hit 60 home runs and the Yankees totally dominate the American League.

Shoeless Joe is taking the Broadway Limited from Chicago to New York, where he will soon arrive at the glorious and gleaming Penn Station and then take the NYC subway (another Wonder of the World at the time) to the equally glorious and gleaming Yankee Stadium to play in the greatest World Series of all time. Somehow they manage to squeeze in 100,000 fans to see the opening game in the Stadium with a capacity of 60,000 fans. 

Ruth built it and people came!

The music is the glorious beginning of Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, popularized in the movie 2001 ASpace Odyssey:

Arnold
