Show Notes
Whether he's turning a corn field into the Field of Dreams, Australian cricket grounds into an Opening Day ballpark or an English soccer stadium into the site of Red Sox and Yankees, Murray Cook is the man behind MLB's pop-up stadiums. He joins Jayson and Doug to explain what went into the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa from vision to completion. What obstacles had to be overcome and what challenges almost derailed the project.
Add in some Shoeless Joe Jackson trivia and a Strange But True week with the Cubs and you have another can't miss episode of Starkville.
