Where have you gone, Moonlight Graham?

100 years ago, this coming Wednesday, was the day Moonlight Graham played the field in his 1 and only appearance in "the Show."

For those not in the know, Moonlight Graham was a character in the great, great, best baseball movie ever made, and my favorite movie, Field of Dreams. He was the player who played 1 game in the big leagues, but never got an at bat. He then proceeded to be sent back to the minors, and then retire, then he moved to Chisholm, MN, to become a Medical Doctor for the rest of his life.

Well, here is to you, Moonlight. May you have many at-bats against the big guy in heaven.

UPDATE:

Here is the website of the field in Iowa, where "Field of Dreams" was filmed. The baseball diamond is still there, and you can visit anytime during the spring through autumn season. I have been there, and it is pretty sweet.
