アイオワ州の田舎町に住むレイ・キンセラは農業でなんとか家計をやりくりする、一見普通の貧乏農家。ただ、若い頃に父親と口論の末に家を飛び出し、以来生涯に一度も父の顔を見る事も、口をきく事すらもなかった事を心の隅で悔やんでいる。
ある日の夕方、彼はトウモロコシ畑を歩いているとふと謎の声を耳にする。その言葉から強い力を感じ取った彼は家族の支持のもと、周囲の人々があざ笑うのをよそに、何かに取り憑かれたように生活の糧であるトウモロコシ畑を切り開き、小さな野球場を造り上げる。
その後しばらく何も起きなかったが、ある日の晩、娘が夕闇に動く人影を球場にみつける。そこにいたのは“ブラックソックス事件”で球界を永久追放され、失意のうちに生涯を終えた“シューレス”ジョー・ジャクソンだった。

Introduction part of the movie "Field of Dreams"
Rey Kincela, who lives in a the countryside in Iowa state, is a normal poor farmer and he somehow makes ends meet by a profit of agriculture.(or ", who lives in the Iowa countryside, " "by a profit of agriculture" is not necessary. He is a farmer and he makes ends meet. or "an ordinary poor farmer, barely getting by." "ordinary" is better than "normal" because it has a tone of slight mediocrity perhaps, I'm not sure if its 普通 versus 通常? "normal" contrasts "abnormal"or 変 "ordinary" contrasts "extraordinary"飛び切り?別格?) He regrets that he left his home as the result from of an argument between he and his father when he was young and he has never seen his father since then. (I didn't really understand the Japanese for this. すらもなかった and ことをこころのすまで悔やんでいる sounds like he holds some regret deep in his heart or in a corner of his heart? I don't understand the grammar of すらもなかった)One day in the evening, he happens to hear a weird voice when he is walking through his corn farm.(Or "One evening,") He feels a strong power from the voice and he builds a small baseball park by, with his family's support, cutting/clearing the corn farmfield which was the source of his income with his family’s support even though/as his neighborhood derided him. ("with his family's support" is better earlier so that it doesn't seem to modify "income", i.e., its modifying "cutting" or "clearing". If they could eat the corn, you could say "reaping". Its a field rather than a farm in this case because that's where he builds the park. Farm is more the whole place, the buildings, the fields, the fences, everything.)
Although it’s been nothing happened for while, Rey’s daughter finds a figure of a moving person in the baseball park in one day in the night. (I don't remember the movie. かげ ? Is it a shadow or a silhouette? "figure" could be fine. "one day in the night" is awkward but okay. Better is just "one night".) The person is a Shoeless Joe Jackson who was deportedexiled from the baseball world because of the Black Socks incident and ended up with dieddying in/of despair. (Sometimes one says that the cause of someone's death is "despair" itself, in which case "of" rather than "in". "deported" is I think usually 送還 or 強制退去. "exiled" or "banished" is better here. "excommunicated" would be okay but it suggests a near religious sentiment for baseball since that's what the Pope does to people.)
