“‘Field of Dreams’ has always been one of my favorite movies and having a chance to do just about anything with Wade Boggs is a dream come true for me,” said Perry. “I’m looking forward to helping make this a place where young ball players from all over the country can come and make their dreams come true, too. And, if we hear voices coming from the cornfields we’ll be sure to follow any and all instructions.”
