Plans for a "Field of Dreams" TV series based on the iconic baseball field in Dyersville, Iowa, were canceled, leaving the Moeckly family with a built baseball field and no show. Despite the setback, the family has partnered with North Polk Schools to allow the local high school baseball team to use the field.
