Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his cornfield tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets it as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field.

| Goofs | The "I'm melting" quote is not an anachronism just because the "Wizard of Oz" came out 20 years after the Black Sox scandal. None of the players died as a result of the scandal. Indeed, the first of them to die was "Shoeless" Joe Jackson in 1951 which was long after "Wizard" came out in 1939. The first time the whole team showed up several players spoke about things happening both before and after the scandal and their deaths. See more » |
