7 p.m. FOX MLB Baseball Bounce To The Beat What had been scheduled for last year and then cancelled because of the pandemic nally comes to fruition today with what is dubbed the “MLB at Field of Dreams” game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox. As the title suggests, the regular-season contest will be played on the same Dyersville, Iowa, site where the baseball sequences for the 1989 movie classic were lmed. Except here, instead of Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte and Buck Weaver roaming the converted corn eld, the names will be Jose Abreu, Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres. 8 p.m. CW Walker Coming off a 15-season run on “Supernatural,” Jar- ed Padalecki proved he’s got the star power to go it alone as a TV leading man in this reimagining of an old Chuck Norris action series. This makeover bold- ly emphasizes Walker’s role as a family man more than a villain-kicking lawman, but the results clicked resoundingly with the actor’s fan base. Season 1 ends tonight with the nale “Drive,” in which Walker receives some shocking news that leaves his world shattered. 8 p.m. NBC Brooklyn Nine-Nine The Emmy-winning cult comedy hit returns for its eighth and nal season, which will see loose-can- non Detective Jake Peralta (Golden Globe winner Andy Samberg) and his colleagues of New York’s 99th Precinct trying to navigate a strange new world for police personnel, especially in the aftermath of a pandemic.
