SportsHollywood: Have their been any marriages or special events at the field?
DON: In the first few years, we had some celebrity games, a few people got married. Some people came all the way out from New York. But we had to stop--pretty soon everybody wanted to get married here.
BECKY: When there were only a few thousand coming here it was easier. But with 55,000 coming every year now it's become too difficult to accomodate so many people, so we had to stop.
SportsHollywood: Do you believe the film's message that baseball brings people together?
DON: It sure does. There were two brothers that didn't get along real well, and the father brought them out and at the end of the afternoon, these two brothers started getting along real good. And neither knew that the other was going to be there- the father planned the whole thing. There's all kinds of stories like that.
SportsHollywood: Are there two "Fields of Dreams" or one field?
DON: There are two separate visions here. There is one united field tourists can come and visit. Donnie and I own the majority of the field. What goes on in left field totally separate from what happens on our property. We have different opinions about how this property should be portrayed.
SportsHollywood: How ironic is it to you that the film's story came true -- that you built it and people came?
DON: There are about 750,000 people that have come out to the field. One was the woman who became my wife. It's really amazing.
SportsHollywood: Are you the real Ray and Annie Kinsella?
DON: No, but I have to sign a lot of baseballs. I'm not really a celebrity, but if it makes people happy...
BECKY: I did have this little girl come up to me and say, "That's Annie Kinsella. Would you sign my baseball?" I didn't want to crush this little girl's dreams, so I wrote "Annie Kinsella," then put my name underneath it. It is such a privilege to be compared to her. Annie Kinsella was a wonderful character, and I would hope that I have some of her characteristics as a human... Now, would I have let Don plow up our only source of income and build a baseball field? Not a chance! (Laughter)
