I understand this is a different context and all, and it's been decades since I've seen the movie(I rented it once some time after its release), so I'm only vaguely familiar at this point, but I've always remembered it the same way as "they will come".
I do recall this as being one of the Mandela effects(not sure if it was covered in the thread here though), and a Google search does return "he will come". I'm pretty sure there were numerous skits and reuses of that phrase where it was "they" and not "he".
Supposedly the baseball field was to attract the ghosts(plural) of baseball legends, namely Shoeless Joe Jackson, and at face value alone "they" as opposed to "he" does seem to make more sense in the context of a baseball field.
Actually, I didn't mean to invoke that quote.
I genuinely meant that if you build a body of work here, members will gather to appreciate it, and my assumption is that you would like that.
After I reread my post, I thought it sounded like I meant it as a quote, but I figure it makes no difference to the meaning whether someone else coined it or otherwise.
Never actually seen that movie... just not really my preferred genre.
[edit to add: And of course I have heard the quote and seen clips all over the place... I just wasn't think about that. I don't want you to think I live under a rock or something!
