The Voice: "Go the distance."

SportsHollywood invades the Field of Dreams

We traveled to Iowa.

Omens were everywhere. We flew on United Airlines, which was running free baseball films that month for their in-flight movies. Incredibly, the film shown on the flight was . . . Field of Dreams!!! It was an uncanny coincidence -- or was it?

The words of Steve Eastin were still ringing in our ears -- that the field really did have "mystical powers!"

And it was calling us.

So on October 21, SportsHollywood realized its epic quest, and like Ray Kinsella, attempted to prove that baseball really can bring people together.

SportsHollywood: The message of the film Field of Dreams is that baseball can help bring people together. At the end of the film, Ray Kinsella and the ghost of his father "have a catch" on the field, which symbolizes their acceptance and love of each other, after years of anger and bitterness. In the spirit of that noble message, will you stand out in the center of the field and "have a catch?" DON LANSING: No. BECKY LANSING: No. AL AMESKAMP: I'm not much of a sports guy. RITA AMESKAMP: (Laughs) KEITH (Manager of Left & Center Field of Dreams): I don't think so. You could try. Al's not a baseball kind of guy. He couldn't catch the ball, probably.

No! They all said NO! After the epic long cross-country journey! After hours of negotiation! After the actual film was shown on our plane flight?!? Where was the magic? Where was the power of baseball???

It was our turn to say 'no.' SportsHollywood could not allow it to end this way. We would ease their friggin' pain, no matter how much we had to hurt them!!!

... So the next day we returned, unannounced, and set a meticulous plan into action...

What did we try to pull? FIND OUT HERE!
