And he couldn\u2019t help but be reminded of it as the Phillies filed off their bus Thursday afternoon in Dyersville, Iowa, at the site of their Field of Dreams game. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Beyond center field of the ballpark where the Phillies took on the Twins, past rows upon rows of corn stalks is the actual set used to film the 1989 movie. The Phillies wandered around the site with their families and friends before the game, exploring the field, bleachers, and house that are all iconic parts of the film.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cJust kind of seeing the house and making sure when I crossed over the chalk line, I didn\u2019t turn into a normal human being,\u201d Bryce Harper said. \u201cSeeing just all of it. Just really cool to be able to be part of it, and be here, and enjoy it.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><p>Bryson Stott watched the movie with his wife during the Phillies\u2019 last homestand. He\u2019d seen it before, but the latest viewing had a bit more significance knowing the game was on the horizon. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cI paid attention to the little stuff that\u2019s going on, and just trying to see what I would be able to see here, knowing that we\u2019re coming here,\u201d Stott said. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The movie <i>Field of Dreams<\/i> itself is as much about fathers and sons as it is about baseball. Kevin Costner\u2019s Ray Kinsella builds the ballpark as a way to connect with his late father\u2019s passion for the game. Their relationship is a main thread throughout, and culminates with Kinsella playing a game of catch with a younger version of his father. <\/p><div><\/div><p>For some players, the logistics of having just one game in Iowa were too complicated to bring their families along for the experience. But not for Mattingly, who shares a workplace with his son Preston, the Phillies general manager. He was also be able to bring along his youngest son, 11-year-old Louie. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The Mattingly trio took a photo together on the field pregame. Don and Louie also played a game of catch, just like Ray and his father did in the movie. <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3839\">Union knocked out of Leagues Cup with 2-0 loss to Liga MX\u2019s Santos Laguna<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cIt\u2019s just been a cool dynamic overall to work alongside of [Preston] and be a part of that,\u201d Don Mattingly said. \u201cAnd then just my little one just being around. Times have changed for kids and families at ballparks and things like that, during BP. And that change is for the better. Your kids get to hang out in the locker room and just be around the guys. It\u2019s been a good experience.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Despite all the fanfare, however, the Phillies are aware that the game isn\u2019t an exhibition. Both teams are in the midst of a wild-card race, and are looking to turn things around after a substandard recent performance. <\/p><div><\/div><p>The Phillies had lost six of their last eight series out of the All-Star break and entered Thursday tied with the Diamondbacks for the final wild-card spot. Since Arizona has the tiebreaker, the Phillies have fallen out of playoff position for the first time since early June. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><article><div><button><svg><\/svg><\/button><button><svg><\/svg><\/button><div><\/div><\/div><div><span>Phillies left fielder Brandon Marsh walks the corn fields at the Field of Dreams Movie Site before Phillies play the Twins in the Field of Dreams game.Read more<\/span><span>Yong Kim \/ Staff Photographer<\/span><\/div><\/article><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cWe know we have to win games, especially now and coming down the stretch,\u201d Stott said. \u201cIt breaks it up in a sense where we\u2019re not in Minnesota for three games, but we\u2019re still playing the Twins three times, and got to win some games. And we\u2019re going to try to enjoy being here, but also the main thing is to win the game.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><h3>Extra bases<\/h3><\/div><div><\/div><p>The Phillies added outfielder Kameron Misner to the roster as the additional player permitted for Thursday\u2019s Field of Dreams game. Misner was acquired in a July trade with the Kansas City Royals in exchange for cash considerations. In 75 games at the triple-A level across both organizations, the left-handed hitter has a .272\/.371\/.529 slash line. \u2026 Catcher Rafael March\u00e1n (left knee patellar tendinitis) began a rehab assignment for triple-A Lehigh Valley Thursday. \u2026 Following Friday\u2019s off day, Jes\u00fas Luzardo (10-5, 3.32 ERA) is scheduled to start against Twins left-hander Connor Prielipp (3-5,4.79) at Target Field. <\/p><div><\/div><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" class=\"wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/faba80d67140212ba32240655442c529.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n        Watch the latest episode\n      <\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Tony Gwynn Jr.<\/strong> is a former major league outfielder and son of late Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn.
