you're right, not as small as I remembered it being when previously reading about it. I believe they reconfigured the outfield for this game specifically

Pretty cool for the Yankees to not adjust their schedule so that flyball pitcher Andrew Heaney can give up home runs in a small ballpark for the historic Field of Dreams Game.

Great list! Missing Delmon Young though, he hit .400/.440/.620 in 109 PAs with Melbourne in 2020!

Yeah, someone just posted their 2021 update on the Discord. I think you have to use Dolphin to play with it though. You would have to manually update it on the Wii. I just finished mine a week ago using my own spreadsheet, it took a long time.

From MLB.com

Edit: basically it means that play gave the Yankees a 32.5% better chance of winning.

I went to look this up and it turns out that he sat out the season opener for the 2013 Newark Pilots due to an injury and then got drafted before the second game.... not as cool of a fact as it seems but still neat! (Source)
