![]() While the character played by Kevin Costner in the movie was trying to "ease his pain," the 15-year-old wants to earn his Eagle Scout badge by giving something back to his community. Joshua's ambition is more based in reality than Ray's was. The diamond already lies in the shadow of the old Brandon Mill in West Greenville, and it's where Jackson himself played for the textile mill before he broke in with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1908. He is creating a field of dreams for Shoeless Joe Jackson. And he is too young to be played by Kevin Costner.īut the high school sophomore and Life Scout (Troop 521) is doing something that Ray Kinsella did in the 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe" and the 1989 movie it inspired, "Field of Dreams." He is helping to revive the ghost of perhaps the greatest player not in the baseball Hall of Fame. He did not plow under a corn crop or kidnap a famous writer. Joshua Barrow did not hear a voice telling him to do that. ![]() ![]() ![]() You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browser ![]()
