I'll take the under.
If they were playing on the field that was the original set for the movie, even pop flies would end up in the cornfield. That would give an entirely new meaning to the term "can of corn"

But an entirely new field has been constructed for this game, located just to the north of the original site. Its dimentions meet current MLB standards and are supposed to be reminiscent to the old Comiskey Park, where the White Sox used to play.

Here's is a link to an article in the Des Moines Register that has lots of photos of the new field and info on the game. You may need to scrool down through all of the photo displays in the article. It may be hokey but should still be fun, especially for old time baseball fans [if you remember Johnny Logan as one of the Braves of the 50's who made the move from Boston to Milwaukee, you qualify]
