Background
Shortly before the 2021 game, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed that there will be another game at the Field of Dreams in 2022, likely during August, but did not reveal which teams would be playing.[2] MLB later announced that the Cincinnati Reds (the same team who would beat the White Sox in the controversial 1919 World Series) would play the Chicago Cubs at the site on August 11, 2022, with Cincinnati as the designated home team in the game.[3]
