Abstract

Excerpt from the article: "In "Field of Dreams," based on W.P. Kinsella's novel, Shoeless Joe, Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) hears a voice in his cornfield, "If you build it, he will come." So he bulldozes a section of the cornfield and builds a splendid baseball field and "they" come out of the corn rows: Shoeless Joe Jackson and the 1919 Chicago Black Sox team. Now the American Communication Association, with Editor Tyrone L. Adams and Associate Editor Jim A. Kuypers as the field crew, has built the American Communication Journal, one of the few online journals in our field. The question is, Will anyone come? I think they will, if we invite them."
