Midwest League rivals the Quad Cities River Bandits and Cedar Rapids Kernels will collide August ninth near the “Field of Dreams” movie site in Dyersville. It is the same site that hosted last year’s game between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox. River Bandits General Manager Joe Kubly says discussions about a possible game had been ongoing for a several months.

Both teams will wear throw back jerseys honoring their early days. The Kernels will play as the Cedar Rapids Bunnies while the River Bandits will be the Davenport Blue Sox.

Kernels General Manager Scott Wilson says it will be part of a busy week in Dyersville.

The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds will play on August 11th. The history of baseball in Cedar Rapids dates back to 1890 and the team was known as the Bunnies for nearly three decades.
