Vandals hit the Field of Dreams

And the latest in the we can't have nice things collection

Before getting ready to play ball, repairs must first be done at the Field of Dreams.

Vandals hit the movie site with a vehicle, digging deep, muddy tracks through the middle of the ball diamond. On their Facebook page, the Field of Dreams Movie Site posted pictures on Tuesday of the deep tracks.

"We cannot fathom why a soul on this planet would desecrate this holy ground," is a statement on the social media site. "We pray for whomever did this to our special place that they find peace in their hearts."
