Few experiences epitomize how beautiful the sport of baseball can be than the Field of Dreams game. There’s supposed to be something magical about this makeshift game played in the Iowa corn. Unfortunately, it seems Major League Baseball wanted to ruin that with overindulgence in creepy technology.
Earlier this week, word leaked that the late Harry Caray — a long-time broadcaster most famous for his work with the Cubs — would appear at the game in hologram form. (Note: Caray was known for embellishing the seventh-inning stretch, especially in Chicago.) Given that Caray has been dead for decades, it sounded like a bad idea on Wednesday. It also sounded like a bad idea given the less colorful aspects of Caray’s history, like that he was often rumored to be drinking alcohol in the booth or his infamous racist comments on air about former Asian MLB pitcher Hideo Nomo.
