A former White Sox star was so impressed with the scene that he decided to purchase the "Field of Dreams".

MLB legend Frank Thomas leads a group that has agreed to purchase the Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, IA.

The site itself includes a working cornfield which was showcased in the MLB game this year and of course the movie, with a total acreage of about 190 acres within the purchase for Thomas and his group.

Thomas is a former AL MVP and was inducted in Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
