MLB explores possible game at Grand Teton

Major League Baseball has asked the Trump administration whether it could stage a game in a national park, with Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming emerging as a possible location. The idea remains preliminary: no site has been selected, no permits have been issued and no game has been approved. The White House said MLB raised the possibility of a park game modeled on the Field of Dreams event in Iowa. It emphasized that the proposal did not originate with President Donald Trump or the administration, was not directed by the White House or the Interior Department, and is not an administration priority. The Washington Post reported that National Park Service Deputy Director Frank Lands visited Grand Teton and examined three potential locations. The purpose of the visit is disputed. The White House described Lands’s trip as a routine tour of several parks, rather than active scouting for baseball sites. The available accounts do not establish whether the visit was specifically intended to assess locations for a game. Teton County Commissioner Luther Propst said he met Lands during the visit and was not told about the proposal. Propst also said the county had not been consulted.
