Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner was a key figure in the MLB at Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa. The Cubs' 2018 first-round draft pick has been one of the standout performers for the struggling team this season. The yearly one-off game is now in its second year and has been a great success. It touches on the historical, traditional, and nostalgic aspects of what has made baseball so special over the years. On Thursday, surrounded by the natural backdrop of the Midwest, Nico Hoerner provided us with one of the great quotes of the season. "Definitely not normal. I could visibly see a horse from shortstop pretty easily," said Hoerner. Hoerner's description of the surrounding area perfectly summarizes the setting this year. This is a unique atmosphere for an MLB game and is in contrast to the usual multi-million-dollar big-city stadiums. In many ways, that is the whole point.
