Matthew Perry invests in Field of Dreams youth complex

DYERSVILLE (AP) — Actor Matthew Perry is investing in a youth sports complex at an eastern Iowa farm where the movie “Field of Dreams” was filmed.

Go the Distance Baseball LLC announced Wednesday that the “Friends” star is part of a group of investors that includes Hall of Fame third baseman Wade Boggs.

It’s unclear how much Perry is contributing to the project. A Go the Distance spokeswoman behind the All-Star Ballpark Heaven says the actor approached them after the 1989 movie site’s sale was announced.
