Major League Baseball played at the Field of Dreams site in Iowa on Thursday.
26 Hall of Fame members came out of the cornfield.
This happened before the Minnesota Twins played the Philadelphia Phillies.
About 8,000 people watched.
They cheered loudly for former Phillies player Mike Schmidt and former Twins catcher Joe Mauer.
Phillies player Kyle Schwarber hit a home run on the third pitch.
That set the tone for a 7-1 win.
Actor Kevin Costner was in the 1989 movie.
He did not come, but he spoke in the pregame video.
Twins All-Star Byron Buxton came back from the injured list that afternoon.
He said a line from the movie's character Terence Mann.
Both teams wore old-style uniforms.
The permanent ballpark has a video board, a modern sound system, and indoor plumbing.
The Hall of Famers included Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Jim Kaat, Mauer, and Bert Blyleven, and others.
Phillies manager Don Mattingly said it was good to see the group.
He played with or coached many of them.
Before the game, Buxton played catch with his 12-year-old son.
Twins manager Derek Shelton did the same with his 78-year-old father.
Both teams are in the middle of wild-card races.
Phillies star Bryce Harper said they still needed to win games.
Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers said moments like this bring back the excitement of a debut day.
Sponsor John Deere promised $100,000 for each home run to a hunger-relief organization.
