Ghost Players Come to The Wisconsin Channel...

For the past decade a group of ballplayers have brought good will and reverie to baseball fans from around the world. These athletes -- known best as the "Ghost Players" from Field of Dreams -- have made the film's famous phrase, "If you build it, they will come," come true from the baseball diamond built in a corn field in Dyersville, Iowa.

In addition to entertaining thousands of fans visiting that movie set/baseball field, the Ghost Players have toured around the world, spreading the good will of America's favorite past time. Now, a very special Ghost Players documentary comes to The Wisconsin Channel, a digital channel from WPT that is available over-the-air on WPT-2 and on many cable providers. Ghost Players will air at 6 p.m. Sunday, August 9; 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 11; noon, Wednesday August 12 and 6 a.m. Thursday, August 13.

Enjoy a preview clip from the documentary film below and tune in to watch the full program from independent producer Joe Scherman on The Wisconsin Channel.
