The scene when the Black woman threw the ball was to note that the league was segregated. There were two women who played in the Negro League. I met one of them, Mamie "Peanut" Johnson, at the Negro League Shop in MD years ago.

Geena Davis has said that she believes no way Dottie would've deliberately dropped the ball and betrayed her team.

[@Bfdidc]

It says much more about her character that she lost honestly than her dishonestly throwing the game for her sister.

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

I see so many people commenting on reactions to A League of Their Own saying that Dottie dropped the ball on purpose. I've always disagreed so I'm glad to see Geena feels the same! Dottie made a point of telling Ellen Sue to throw high, fast balls because Kit had a history of missing them. She was definitely trying to help the Peaches win. Kit just had something to prove and all that fire built up in her, so she massacred that ball and then tackled Dottie so hard that she dropped the ball. She wanted that win!

[@fishbone8703]

She didn't have to say "high fast balls". I think she wanted to win

[@sxm76]

She clearly dropped the ball on purpose. They showed TWO scenes to support this. 1) She held on to the ball when a larger woman ran her down. 2) She witnessed how Kitt was falling apart in the dugout. That was the purpose for showing those scenes. It doesn't take from her character at all. My sister would come before my team any day, especially knowing she's always felt like nothing. They actually show THREE scenes.....when Dottie tells her grandson to give his little brother a chance sometimes. She dropped the ball on purpose.

[@isoldejaneholland8370]

@@fishbone8703 Exactly! I loved it that these two women reacting watched the same movie, but one declared,"She definitely dropped it on purpose" while the other said, with equal confidence,"It was clearly an accident." 😄 A perfect microcosm of every Comments section online.

[@TSIRKLAND]

I'm a makeup artist by profession, but I'm so glad they did not use old age makeup on Madonna and Gene Davis and everybody. I'm glad that they cast older actresses for the reunion scenes. Old age makeup is one of THE most difficult things to do really well and believably- and with that number of actresses who would need it, and the budget of this film, it would probably have not been as good as it could have been, and it would pull you right out of the movie- the feeling of actual time having passed, how much people change with age.. The actresses they did cast were SO spot-on perfect! The casting director should have won an award just for that. You could immediately tell who was who. Obviously, they gave us clues in the script as well, but everybody looked believable. Dottie standing next to her younger-self photograph: there is no doubt that that young woman grew into that older woman. They really did a tremendous job with that casting!!

[@jamedraa8472]

Fun fact: all the injuries you see, like Dottie's leg, are real injuries the actors suffered. The cast played real ball and had real injuries.

[@NajaalGobindSingh]

it was always called baseball, the Women took the mens place when they went to war. Softball is totally different when it comes to the size of the ball and the style of pitching

[@fabian4ever69]

Great movie! Great reaction! The end song, This Used To Be My Playground by Madonna was to be at the beginning of the movie but instead they used Now and Forever by Carol King. Madonna was upset because she knew people leave the theater without listening to the final song.

[@tlm101155]

The guy dancing wirh Madonna was Eddie Mekka. He played Carmine (aka the Big Ragoo) on Laverne and Shirley. He was an excellent Singer and Dancer. One of Baseball Stadium Announcers calling the game was David Lander who played Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley. The Baseball Scout was played by Jon Lovitz (from Saturday Night Live). Many of his insults and funny comments weren't in the script and were adlibs by Lovitz himself. Jimmy Duggan (Tom Hank's character) was based on the Real Manager of the Rockford Peaches former Star Player Jimmy Foxx. Kit (Lori Petty) has a Cult following as the title character in the movie Tank Girl. The horrible bruise on the player's leg was real and took over a year to heal.

[@tdomonique504]

Dotti dropped the ball on purpose. They made a point to show Dotti hold on to the ball during several run ins throughout the movie so we would know that when she finally did let the ball go it was on purpose. IMO anyway.

[@cinemeleon2808]

Dottie dropped that ball on purpose, babies. She was the best in the league. The film made a point to show her skill...that she could catch and hold nearly any pitch, like when she fell into the dugout and came up holding the ball. The hit she took from Kitt was nothing for Dottie, she simply just decided to let her sister win in the end. Great reaction to one of my favorite movies!

[@groujo1]

Hm. I never saw it that way. I just saw it as Kit hitting her like a freight train with 18 years of frustration and finally breaking through. That's what I'll choose to see.

[@darylabrams2]

​@@groujo1she wouldn't have dropped that ball on purpose. If she does then that just nullifies all that Kit did to win. Kit earned it by finally giving it all she had instead of whining.

[@MotoNomad350]

While it’s obviously left for the viewer to decide, I’m in the Dottie-dropped-the-ball-on-purpose camp. They open the movie with her effectively telling her elder grandson to take it easy on his little brother. And they make a point of showing Dottie holding on after a collision at the plate. I think Dottie knew it meant far more to her sister than it did to her, so she let her win in a way that wouldn’t undermine her sister’s accomplishment.

[@groujo1]

@@MotoNomad350 Agreed: it fits with the themes, and Dottie does seem to wish she had given Kit more room to flourish. But it doesn't fit with Dottie's , imho. She was a real ballplayer who respected the game and wanted to win. She drove hundreds of miles to return to the final game, and she told Betty to pitch Kit high. And you can see it on her face while Kit is running the bases: she's not rooting Kit on. So if she decided to drop the ball intentionally, it was at the very last second. And I'd say if that was the intention of the story to have that be the crucial choice, it's filmed strangely. They could have shown Dottie smiling while doing it or something. I think they chose not to do that because it would feel condescending, rather than loving. And that's exactly why I don't choose not to interpret it that way.

[@zammmerjammer]

The number of people who seem to think that being good at something means that no one can ever win against you forever is ridiculous. Do you *seriously* think the story being told is that Dottie betrays her teammates, lets Kit win out of pity, and that Kit is deluded and achieves nothing? *Seriously?* What a dreadful ending, and one wholly inconsistent with the ENTIRE rest of the story. People, come ON.

[@IAmNative-px4mx]

[@jasonnelson9707]

It has always amazed me that older Dottie isn’t Geena Davis in makeup but a totally different actress. The casting was so brilliant all around, especially in the older versions of the women.

[@birch5757]

One of my favorite moments in film is when Geena Davis does the splits. She's actually crazy athletic, no knowledge to back this up, she just looks like an athlete.

[@kenyonsgirl415]

She’s an Olympic level archer I heard! And we know that the actresses actually had to know how to play ball to get the part in this film. So I’d say she’s definitely athletic ❤️

[@therealameliabedelia7821]

Geena Davis’ stunt double actually did the splits for the scene. Not because Geena couldn’t do a split- she actually could- but because she couldn’t run into it like the scene called for.

[@TheRepublican777]

Yes a lot of familiar faces, Madonna, Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell, Tea leoni, Lori Petty, Tom Hanks, Jon lovitz, Bill Pullman. David stratham, Garry Marshall . And during world war 2 there really was an all women's League

This is a great movie. It’s one you can watch repeatedly throughout the years. The only thing that gets to me about it is how Kit never really gets her comeuppance. It’s so unsatisfying! She basically gets rewarded in the end for being a spiteful, self absorbed, jealous, inconsiderate, tantrum throwing shrew. I hate it! There weren’t any consequences for her disgusting/hateful behavior. At no point did she ever show any love or compassion towards her own sister and the real problems she was going through. Kit didn’t deserve to win and it ruined the end of the movie for me.

[@zammmerjammer]

How silly. Kit was immature and she had to grow up. "comeuppance" for being overshadowed by her sister her whole life?

[@twofriendsreact]

I hope I'm the 8 bajillionth person in the comments to point out how incredible the Amazon reboot of this film was/is - it doubles down on the best parts of the film, exploring all the areas they were instructed to ignore in the original (like racial or queer issues), and discusses them in very real and relatable ways. Super excited to go ahead and start this, since I began writing before I even started the video because I enjoy y'all so much as reactors that I just got ahead of myself. OK, I'm gonna start play now lol

[@twofriendsreact]

OK just finished it. I really relate to it feeling nostalgic - it's a story that, despite not happening to us personally, is still deeply relevant to many of us. Some of that is in the power of the incredible storytelling of this movie, and some because it's telling the real stories of real people and we can't escape the ways in which history continues to impact us all in a variety of ways we struggle to describe, even as it feels vital that we find some way to communicate what we feel inside so that we feel less alone. Sigh, it's after midnight and I worry I'm rambling. I appreciate you sharing your time with us. I love this film and really enjoyed y'all's reaction to it. I highly recommend the Amazon reboot to anyone reading this. And to those same people: you are loved and valued and wanted

[@JynxRyl]

We appreciate your thoughtful comments. You can ramble as much as you like. We appreciate you 💜

[@hw903611]

The father didn’t treat Dottie better. Kitt was just jealous because Dottie was great at everything and people recognized it and Dottie cast a long shadow, so Kitt was always in it. And Dottie loved her sister more than baseball, which is why she dropped that ball at home plate on purpose to make Kitt the hero and lift her up. The director of this movie made it a point to show Dottie being run into at home plate on two previous occasions by two women bigger and stronger than Kitt and not dropping the ball.

[@zammmerjammer]

So Dottie is a traitor who came al the way back to play the World Series JUST to betray her teammates and give Kit a false win that Kit is too dumb to realize is not real? *That's a terrible story.* Dottie never once showed that she is someone who would let somebody win just to make them feel better. Dottie wants to win just as much as Kit does. We see that over and over again. She tells Ellen Sue about Kit's weakness with high fastballs just to LIE AND THROW THE GAME in the final moment? WTF? The ending is KIT WINS FAIR AND SQUARE. THAT'S why Dottie is so happy for her and proud of her. The reason it was shown on previous occasions with Dottie being run into on home plate and holding onto the ball is because THIS TIME she didn't! Do you seriously think just because someone is good at a sport that means they are 100% good 100% of the time? I genuinely don't even know how this is debatable. "Dottie is a liar and Kit is deluded" is the happy ending in your mind???

[@philmakris8507]

Fun Fact: Geena Davis is an Olympic level archer in real life. 🏹

[@jamesodonnell3636]

As expected, I'm really enjoying this reaction at the halfway point! Recently, I passed on a reaction to this film, thinking, "Next time I'm in the mood for a reaction to A League of Their Own, I can always search for that flickaroo and pick whichever channel's reacting to it." Then it showed up on your channel, and I said "HOORAY, I'm down!" (Along with You, Me, & the Movies and Andelain, your reaction channel ranks at the tippity top for me! Your reactions are always fantastic!) Also: "Why do you gotta' be so good?" is the wrong question. Kit, addlepated from living in her sister's shadow, is the embodiment of sport: striving her hardest, past reason, with a chip on her shoulder and everything to prove. Dottie, the Michael Jordan of her sport, has nothing to prove. She's amazingly talented and a class act all the way, a wonderful human being. To me, the question Kit needs to be asking *herself* is, "How good can *I* be -- and when am I ever going to just be happy for my sister and congratulate her on being such a badass?"

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Baseball and softball are played by the same rules, but softball uses a larger ball that hurts less when you get hit with it. It's common for girls and casual players (for example, teams from churches or businesses just looking to play recreationally, not aspiring athletes) to play softball as opposed to baseball. Dottie and Kit were playing softball in the beginning for the for the team from the dairy their parents own.

[@Mittens.49]

[@TSIRKLAND]

Every time I see this film- or a reaction to it- I am re-amazed that we do not, in 2024, have a woman's baseball league. We have professional women's soccer, and basketball, but no baseball? We've already done it once, back then: surely today there would be a market for this! The success of women's basketball and soccer must surely prove that women's sports are every bit as entertaining as men's sports. People would pay for those tickets. But I'm no expert; I'm no rich mover and shaker in the world of sports leagues. What do I know? Here's hoping for a women's baseball league, sooner than later, amiright?

During World War 2. While the men went off to War. Including the pro baseball players. Women went to work in the factories and played professional baseball in the women's league.

Good story, but the only things in there that actually happened were that the players did go to charm school, and that they wore those awful uniforms. But women's baseball was popular from the very first. They were never in danger of being shut down, and the league lasted through the 1953 season. There were more and more major-league games on television, and for awhile, small-town teams suffered. The bruise on a player's hip that looked so horrible wasn't makeup. That was real. The actress said it took a year to heal completely.

[@jeffking887]

I don’t think Dottie would ever lose on purpose. Kit just clocked her. Also, Dottie also hurt herself catching the ball in the dugout so she wasn’t 100%

OF COURSE she didn't drop the ball on purpose. NOTHING about Dottie's character throughout the entire movie supports that idea. She at no point is the type to let anyone win to make them feel better. ALSO, that is the WORST possible ending -- it means Dottie is a liar who betrays her teammates and Kit is a deluded phony. "Good thing your sister bailed you out, Kit" from the beginning is the SAME at the end? Makes no sense. Dottie is happy for Kit at the end because SHE WON fair and square. She couldn't hit the high fastballs and couldn't lay off them, but by the end SHE DID and SHE WON. I can't believe this is even a question.

No she didn't. That would be completely out of character for her.

We aren't meant to know, because it "works" either way depending on what you want to take away from the movie. Brilliant writing.

I've got 10 minutes before my poker tournament starts. I only watch this channel because the girl on the left with the bandana is so damn beautiful.
