National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Big Red Machine great Johnny Bench arrived in Dyersville, Iowa, ahead of Thursday's MLB at Field of Dreams Game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs, and shared video via Twitter on Tuesday emerging from a cornfield.
Retro logos of both teams have been cut into the corn beyond the right-field fence at the field.
From Bench via Twitter:
Major League Baseball Public Relations announced Monday that Reds first baseman Joey Votto and former UC Bearcats standout Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs - a first-time All-Star earlier this season - will wear two-way mics and join Thursday's Fox broadcast in a live conversation from the field.
Play-by-play announcer Joe Davis and analyst John Smoltz are scheduled to broadcast the MLB at Field of Dreams Game on Fox.
MLB unveiled throwback uniforms for Thursday's game. The Reds' are inspired by the uniforms they wore in 1919, when they won the World Series against Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Chicago White Sox.
In May, the Reds tweeted about Jonathan India's cornrows, previewing Thursday's game.
In June, rookie pitcher Hunter Greene said he planned to watch the movie again ahead of the Reds' appearance in the game.
