Before the global pandemic fundamentally altered life and the Major League Baseball calendar, one of the original schedule's novelties was the "Field of Dreams" game that was supposed to take place at the movie's filming site in Dyersville, Iowa. '

The game was still on the docket as part of the revised, 60-game regional schedule, with the St. Louis Cardinals (who had taken the place of the New York Yankees) and the Chicago White Sox slated to play in front of the ghosts and the corn next Thursday. On Monday, however, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported that the game had officially been scrapped. Rosenthal reports the game is being called off due to "logistical" issues rather than the Cardinals' mounting COVID-19 outbreak.
