With Archibald "Moonlight" Graham's story, as portrayed in Field of Dreams, you have the dramatic and inspiring story of someone who came so close to their adolescent dream only to see it disappear and then by some miracle be given a second chance 80 years later.

OK, but please keep it in mind that this may all very well be artistic liberty on the part of the author. None of us ever sat next to Graham on a barstool and heard him lament about his failed opportunity. Either way, I understand how collectors and fans who saw the film have found themselves embraced by Kinsella's romanticised notion; it's what drags all of us out to the movie theaters to escape our workaday lives to begin with!
