If you build it, they will come. So goes the iconic line in the overrated 80s heartstring plucker Field of Dreams. In the case of K-Cos, “they” happens to refer to a bunch of creepy baseball ghosts wandering out of the cornfield like aliens in Signs, but in the case of Jason Kidd (no, not that one), the inspiration to build a baseball diamond in the front yard of his Cleveland home came from a slightly more terrestrial source:
His 5-year-old son.
“About two years ago my son and I were playing with his plastic T-ball set,” Kidd told WKNY Channel 3, “He asked if we could build a baseball field in the backyard. I kind of blew him off. But I started thinking about it. Then I started measuring to see if we have room, and now I have a baseball field.”
Indeed you do, Jason. Indeed you do.
