Fans were loving MLB’s Field of Dreams game until Fox decided to freak everyone out with creepy CGI.
Before Thursday’s big game, journalist Tim Burke reported that Fox would roll out a hologram of Harry Caray that his sources described as “unconvincing” and “possibly offensive.”
A man hears Fox is testing a reanimated Harry Caray in hologram form for tomorrow's Field of Dreams game? Someone who has seen the footage says it is "unconvincing" and "possibly offensive"

Burke’s report turned out to be accurate as a CGI form of the late announcer came out to sing “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” and it was really creepy.

Hologram Harry Caray is perhaps the ultimate example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should"
