Why not just play it at another venue while they’re fixing up the ballpark at Dyersville? Like Doubleday Field in Cooperstown? Rickwood Field in Birmingham would be a great fit. Or League Stadium in Huntingburg, Indiana, where both “A League of Their Own” and “Soul of the Game” were filmed?
Well since Field Of Dreams was about family, forgivness and redemption, it may be a better message than Frank Thomas building a casino around the site.
Pete Rose didn’t run the Mafia. Pete Rose didn’t sell guns to the Bloods and the Crips. Pete Rose didn’t slap Chris Rock. Give the guy a break! He just gambled.

Interesting idea…. both Shoeless Joe & Pete Rose are banned. Have a hollow gram of them playing catch! MLB won’t do it.

I sure hope baseball comes back soon. Those athletes need to get out there.

Pete Rose, a blast from the past! He is currently 81 years YOUNG! Long live Charlie Hustle!

Yeah, I can hear Pete’s ads now “Hustle” on down to the casino and get on a hot “streak”.

Wherever you hold the game, don’t tarnish it with Rose.

A former co-worker observed that if you couldn’t bet on horse races, even the owners wouldn’t watch them.
Turns out it has a much wider application.

The owners who love horses would watch. The corporate owners — meh.
