Debbie Bahr of Livermore believes in taking time out to share special moments with her grandchildren.
And did she ever last week – taking 6 year old grandson Lawton Thompson to the Field of Dreams major league baseball game in Dyersville on Aug. 12.
Famed after the 1989 movie filmed in Iowa starring Kevin Costner, it proved to be a memorable night on a picturesque setting and topped off with the Chicago White Sox beating the New York Yankees on a walkoff home run for a 9-8 White Sox victory.
“The game was well worth it. It was an amazing finish,” Bahr said.
