Arguably the best baseball movie ever - Field of Dreams. Kevin Costner's character keeps hearing this ghost-whispering - "build it and he will come". The "he" refers to Shoeless Joe Jackson who was indicted, along with 8 others, of throwing the world series. Building "it" is a baseball diamond on his corn farm, which he does. And, "he" does come. Brilliant movie - Costner was actually good in it :)

"If you build it, they will come," the famous line from the popular movie "Field of Dreams." However, I think it is of Jewish origin.

Actually the "he" in the quote referred to Ray Consello's (Costner) deceased father.
