In “Field of Dreams,” the iconic 1989 film, ghosts of famous baseball players appear to Ray Kinsella, played by actor Kevin Costner, in an Iowa corn field. Boston Red Sox outfielder Jason Bay had a similar experience with a famous hockey player earlier this year.
Jogging out to his spot in left field to start the top of the seventh inning, Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr suddenly appeared in front of Bay, a native of Trail, British Columbia, on the warning track. Orr hadn’t actually appeared out of nowhere—he was hiding inside the fabled Green Monster left field wall, waiting for Bay. The scene of No. 4 meeting No. 44 played out before a crowd of 38,196 on hand at Fenway Park to see the Red Sox defeat the Florida Marlins, 6-1, on June 17.
“In happened in the middle of the game, actually. He was in the Green Monster and stepped out when I went back into the field. I don’t think it was his idea, he was kind of forced out there,” Bay recalled. “He said hi to me, but there was no real chit chat because of the situation, but very cool nonetheless.
