Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

Yeah.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

I mean, most of the stories I do have that have that tint.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

So yeah, it's like I like I because I pursue for every story that I do end up pursuing and producing, there are probably five more that I look into.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And then there's just, there's not enough there.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

So yeah, for my first season, what was really interesting to me was when

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

I read this article on Moonlight Graham.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

So Doc Graham, who is known for Field of Dreams.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And I read this article and I didn't know that he was a real guy.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

I'm like, what?

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

What's going on there?

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And so I started to do research and found out that

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

The guy who wrote the book, Shoeless Joe, he had this baseball almanac that he got as a gift for Christmas.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And he was looking through it and he found Moonlight Graham.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

One appearance in this major league game, I don't know what year it was, like 1912 maybe?

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

But he never had a plate appearance.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And so that was the impetus to including him in the movie.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And to me, the true story was more interesting than the fiction.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

So that was amazing, and I wanted to dig into that and tell that story.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

And as I did that, like I told you about my move to therapy and little by little, well, this was faster, but little by little, as I continued to do episodes, I had this voice inside of me that wanted to go back to Field of Dreams.

Something For Everybody
Rediscovering Wonder in Everyday Life - Ben Orlando - #498

and like doc Graham and, and do more stories.
