I seek to demonstrate the extent to which meaningful truth(s) can be extracted from a work of memorable literary fiction. This evocative autoethnography employs elements of Creative Analytical Practice (CAP) within a trilogy of short stories (episodes) each inspired by ‘Shoeless Joe’, the fictional novel that provided the inspiration for the fantasy baseball movie ‘Field of Dreams’. Whether consumed individually or altogether, the three-part production offers the opportunity to experience the power and potential of producing personal narratives. Episodes One, Two and Three are piece of creative non-fiction that incorporate the aspects of personal narrative, ethnodrama and autobiography. The principles and practices of occupational devotion and heritage sports tourism are explored and exploited throughout, providing a platform for new learning and a potentially a new way of seeing the world(s) we inhabit
