The 1989 movie ‘Field of Dreams’ is based on a novel about which real baseball player?

I loved this movie. All the cast was great in the parts .. everyone in this movie was great.. and the soundtrack… was amazing….

Cookie Bean, I got a lot of thumbs down when I earlier said I like his movies, but don't care for his stiff, emotionless acting. I love this movie and Dances with Wolves, but he drove me nuts in the latter. Here come the thumbs! 😏
