Tim Anderson hit a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth innings as the Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees.
The hour-long pre-game show featured snippets from the movie, an appearance by actor Costner and a narration by James Earl Jones, who played a pivotal role in the movie as well.game to be played in Iowa did not disappoint as the Yankees took a 3-1 lead in the top of the third inning, before the White Sox scored six unanswered runs to lead 7-3 in the bottom of the fourth.
The Yankees replied with a 5-0 burst of their own to take an 8-7 lead in the top of the ninth, before Anderson won the game for the White Sox.Walking through the cornfields that surrounded the outfield, Costner made an entrance worthy of the two-time Academy Award winner that he is as he walked onto the field by himself. Having made his way to the mound, he then turned towards the outfield, from where the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox emerged just as he had done only minutes earlier.
The moment was a nod to the 1989 movie in which Costner's character builds a field where departed MLB legends then go and play. The MLB's official broadcast recreated the movie scene almost flawlessly, as you can see in the clip below.
