Featuring MLB legends Johnny Bench, Frank Thomas, Reggie Jackson, and more!
After months of planning, FOX Sports Ohio and Home Team Sports have renewed their relationship with Pepsi Cola in production of the Pepsi MAX Field of Dreams.
Last fall, fans had the chance to visit mlb.com/pepsimax to vote for which of four finalists they wanted to host the Pepsi MAX Field of Dreams Team. Columbus resident Tim Wisecup won the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play baseball against a dream team of MLB legends.
Players including Johnny Bench, Frank Thomas, and Reggie Jackson came together at Columbus Ohio’s Huntington Park on Saturday, May 12 to play six innings against Wisecup and his ten friends. FOX Sports Ohio will air a one-hour version of the game on Saturday, May 19 at 4:30pm. FOX Sports Ohio’s George Grande called play-by-play, and David Maetzold and Natalie Taylor served as dugout reporters, interviewing MLB legends and Wisecup.
The starting Dream Team: - Catcher – Johnny Bench
- First Baseman – Frank Thomas
- Second Baseman – Edgar Martinez
- Third Baseman – Wade Boggs
- Shortstop – Ozzie Smith
- Outfielders – Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson, Dave Winfield
- Pitcher – Pedro Martinez
- Relief Pitcher – Dennis Eckersley
Appearances were also made by Joe Charboneau, Lenny Barker, and Kent Mercker.
