It seems like it’s been approximately six years since a real baseball game has been played. With COVID-19 clouding the immediate future of the sport, there is no way to know when action will resume. Until then, looking to the past is the best way to get respite, as the game has produced many chill-worthy moments over the years that immediately remind fans why they love baseball so much.

Vin Scully Reciting the Field of Dreams Speech: There is little that elucidates the beauty of baseball like the voice of legendary announcer Vin Scully and the classic film, Field of Dreams. Put them together and you’re practically begging to see a fan cry. In the movie, James Earl Jones give a soliloquy on what draws people to baseball. His version is pretty damned good, but Scully delivering it takes it to a whole new level.
