A Field of Dreams Moment
This May, I had the chance to check off a bucket list item in the best way possible—on the field with my son.
As head coach of his 10U team, we traveled to Dyersville, Iowa, for a tournament at the iconic Field of Dreams site. My son had just seen the movie last summer—the same age I was when I first watched it—and being there together made the experience even more meaningful.
We played catch in left field, with the corn just beginning to grow, and I even tossed him a few pitches he lined into the outfield. It was a simple moment, but one I’ll never forget.
It also reminded me of Twins Fantasy Camp—the shared love of the game, the friendships, and the chance for all of us, no matter our age, to play one more game. I’m grateful to be part of that community, and even more grateful to pass along the game I learned from my dad to my son.
