As any emotionally repressed man with father issues can attest, there is perhaps no stronger dose of Kryptonite to one’s “feelings fortress” than the final scene of Field of Dreams. You know the one. Kevin Costner, who has carved a baseball diamond out of his Iowa cornfield, meets his long-deceased, baseball player father as a young man and plays catch with him one last time.
The 鶹ýӳCanadians aim to replicate that time-honoured tradition, minus the sniffling and snotty noses, when the C’s open up the diamond at Nat Bailey Stadium to the public for their annual Father’s Day Catch, Sunday, June 18, from 1 to 3 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring their own baseballs and gloves, with entrance to the event along the third base side of the stadium. Admission is free.
The 鶹ýӳCanadians open the 2017 Northwest League on the road against the Eugene Emeralds June 15 to 19, and play their home opener against the Everett Aquasox, Tuesday, June 20, 7:05 p.m.
