Sing it with me...
Take me out to the ballgame, no place I'd rather be
Buy me a foot long, and ice cold beer
I'm with my friend Sarah in our Dodger Gear!
We did root root root for Dodgers,
they just didn't win--a true shame!
But we ate, drank and had a great time
at the ol' ball game!

I don't know the title for sure, but I'm guessing it's "Field of Dreams"...cute pictures...such good color!
I certainly hope it's not heaven. Sorry. I've already seen a squeeze play, so I'm all baseballed out!! I hope heaven has diet coke and nice, single men.
An excellent 7th inning poem!
"Ray People will come Ray.
They'll come to Iowa for reason they can't even fathom.
They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it.
They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past.
'Of course, we won't mind if you look around,' you'll say, 'It's only $20 per person.'
They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it.
For it is money they have and peace they like...
...Then they'll walk out to the bleachers and sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon.
They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes
And they'll watch the game and it will be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters.
The memories [my favorite line] will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces...
...People will come Ray...
...The one constant through all the through all the years Ray has been baseball.
America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.
It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again.
But baseball has marked the time.
This field, this game.
It's a part of our past Ray.
It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.
Oh people will come Ray, people will most definitely come."

It is heaven! Maybe just a slice, but definitely heaven...
Wait... did my DBacks smoosh your Dodgers? :-)
Unfortunately I had forgotten a couple of lines, but I spent an afternoon memorizing the speech.
I also learned a interesting fact about the movie today, while find the youtube clip.
Did you know that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are extras at the Fenway scenes? Years before hitting it big.
Oh that must be really cool for Matt and Ben! What a great thing to have been a part of!
