Every year for Opening Day, Major League Baseball has some of its players act out a scene from a well known baseball movie. Last year, it was 'The Sandlot'. This year, it's the emotional 'If you build it' scene from 'Field of Dreams'.

Can you identify the Tiger reading above?.

When it comes to great baseball movies, 'Field of Dreams' is right up there with 'The Sandlot' and 'Eight Men Out' as one of the best. When Kevin Costner's Ray Kinsella character asks his dad to play catch, there's not a dry eye to be found.

The same can be said for James Earl Jones' stirring 'If you build it, they will come' soliloquy. In honor of baseball's Opening Day, Major League Baseball had players from several different teams perform the speech. WARNING: You may find yourself getting some feels.

Bonus points if you can identify the Detroit Tiger reading at 1:01.

For reference, here's the original speech, with James Earl Jones and the immortal line, 'for it's money they have, but peace they lack.'

And if you're not crying yet, here's the scene where Ray Kinsella has a catch with his Dad.

The Detroit Tigers open their home season Friday at Acomerica Park against the Yankees, and the Whitecaps will open their home schedule Saturday against South bend at Fifth Third Park.
