Fox decided to have a hologram of famed Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray doing one of the things he’s most famous for doing during Thursday night’s game at Field of Dreams: Singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Obviously, a lot of work went into the project.

Personally, I thought the hologram was pretty good. Most others, however, were not fans.

my therapist: [whispering] and is this "Hologram Harry Caray" in the room with us right now?

Creepy. Please don’t make a hologram out of me when I’m dead.

If anyone makes a hologram of me I will haunt that hologram and chase people around. I will figure out how to pick up stuff and throw it at the people who did this. I promise it’s not worth it

Though, unless this is sarcasm, not everyone was upset:
The hologram delivered. Everything I wanted.

It’s probably sarcasm. I don’t get it. What’s the big deal? It’s Field of Dreams, a baseball game at a field inspired by a movie about ghosts. Why shouldn’t it get a little weird?
