hose who know me best know that I love the movie “Field of Dreams.’’

What’s not to love? It has baseball, a trip to Fenway Park, a relationship between a father and son, the Doobie Brothers’ “China Grove” and Iowa cornfields.

Those who know me best know that I can recite line after line from the movie from start to finish.

My favorite line isn’t, “Is this Heaven? No, it’s Iowa.” Or, “Dad, you wanna have a catch?” Or, “If you build it, he will come.’’
