Dottie Says Goodbye | A League of Their Own (Geena Davis Scene)

Dottie (Geena Davis) says goodbye to her sister and to baseball.
Watch League Of Their Own (1992) Now: AAN.SonyPicture...
Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna star in this major-league comedy from the team that brought you Big. Hanks stars as Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up ballplayer whose big league days are over. Hired to coach in the All-American Girls Baseball League of 1943, while the male pros are at war, Dugan finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his all-girl team. Jon Lovitz adds a scene-stealing cameo as the sarcastic scout who recruits Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis), the baseball dolly with a Babe Ruth swing. Teammates Madonna, Lori Petty and Rosie O'Donnell round out the roster, taking the team to the World Series. Based on the true story of the pioneering women who blazed the trail, on the fields and off, for generations of athletes.

2:46 This is a moment that I don't think gets enough respect. After Kit's trade, Dottie throws out in anger that she got Kit into the league. But now, after Kit has just won it all, rather than trying to rub it in that Kit won it all because Dottie got her into the league, she tells Kit what Kit prolly should have known all along. Kit got herself into the league. Dottie just got her onto the train, since the scout wouldn't take Kit without Dottie, and into training where she had to prove that she was good enough, which she clearly was.

Now there's a movie I never tire of, could see it again and again !!! ⚾

[@troll-fx2zc]

Greatest baseball movie of all time !

[@MrTallpoppy58]

Baseball had nothing to do with this movie being a great.

[@puppethound]

I think this movie is good, but I prefer The Sandlot as my favorite baseball movie or Moneyball.

[@yukimaruzam]

My favorite line of any movie of all time: "Mamma take me home and put me to bed. I've seen enough to know I've seen too much."

[@kathconserv]

Dottie loved her sister more than baseball.

[@BertaAlvarez-er1fp]

Of course! Blood is thicker than baseball

[@Rockhound6165]

Alright, who's cutting onions in my living room.

[@jroysims44]

I love this picture. And it has given me a new respect for Tom Hanks.

[@evelynwills3641]

Dottie : Hey Kit lay off of those high ones! Kit : I like the high ones! Dottie: Mule! Kit : Nag!

[@spede1]

Gena Davis is good in anything

[@jonthomas8569]

This is a great scene. And it needed to be said by Dotty that Kit got herself into the league. If she wasn’t good enough, she wouldn’t have made it. AND, Dotty didn’t drop the ball on purpose. Kit knocked her on her butt because she wasn’t expecting her to hit the ball and go for the home run.

[@ninademci1500]

My favorite baseball movie!

[@beccamarie9782]

I love this movie! But I couldn't stand the character of Kit. She was the reason why Dottie left home to play baseball so that Kit could have a chance at life. Dottie team would've won if Kit didn't cry like someone died. I know Dottie gave her the win, because she knew that Kit felt she was always in her shadow. Dottie was a better player, and much more wiser. Kit was just annoying!

[@oooh19]

Kit had insecurities which is understandable

[@kirkistief]

Baseball and winning never meant as much to Dottie as it did to Kit. Dottie knew that and chose her sister over the game. I always figured Kit was in her late teens anyway.

[@LiveOutUrDreams4eva]

Dottie hand hit hard on the ground I think she dropped itt

[@arkay238]

Dottie was too competitive to give it up deliberately, and wouldn’t betray the other girls like that. Kit simply outplayed her.

[@davidrubio9753]

This got me teary eyed. I have a sister too and I know I'd miss the hell out of her

[@kanegorgeous3046]

Dottie knew what she had to do.

[@erika8627]

I always wondered if she dropped it on purpose.

[@kathconserv]

@@erika8627she did.

[@chuckHart70]

​​@@kathconservI don't agree. I think Kit finally beat Dottie. think Dottie was trying to remind Kit that winning is one thing but you don't want to lose what's the most important to you. And for Dottie it was family and Friends. There's no way she would have dropped that ball on purpose.

[@kathconserv]

@@chuckHart70 no way.

[@gargouenzene]

​@@erika8627Dottie dropped the ball deliberately. She gave the victory to her sister by love. The win meant a lot more to Kit.

[@HELLOEARTH1MILLION]

If the Sisters has song to describe their relationship:See You Again. It’s been a long day without you my friend And I’ll tell you all about when I see you again.😢

great movie -- have a good friend that looks like Geena Davis

[@kerrijohnstone7588]

Do you think Dottie threw the game for Kit?

[@thegsk]

Yes but she had to make it look like she didn't

[@mc76]

She knew that she was already out. Let the kid sister have the glory.

[@royalwalker6028]

Yes. Firstly, she gave Kit a clue about the pitch when she told the pitcher to throw high balls that she couldn't l lay off of them and the coach yelled lay off the high balls. That was the same scenario at the beginning of the movie when Kit struck out on high balls. Secondly, there was a similar scene previously where the base runner slammed into Dottie and she held onto the ball. Proves that she had the ability to make the play. She knew how much this meant to Kit, and as a big sister who was always in the spotlight, she knew what she had to do for Kit.

[@mikegeiler2347]

Not a chance. Dottie was too much of a competitor. Doesn’t mean she wasn’t happy for Kit but I don’t think she would throw the championship

[@jayaom4946]

No, she didn't. She told Ellen Sue Kit's weakness. Her face shows her determination to win in every moment. When she lost and the game was over she felt happy for Kit. That was how Dottie was, it was just a game to her once it was done. But while she was playing she was totally in it to win.

[@orlandobabe]

Can’t say I tear up this much for any of my sisters. Well I did when my little sister had her heart attack. But when we go our separate ways I won’t tear up in goodbyes

Am I the only one that felt that there was sexual tension between Dottie and Jimmy? I know it's not heavily implied, but there were hints.

There's a deleted scene where they kiss.

The way netflix butchered and “woke” the series is just sad this is a great movie and deserved a true tv series not a series where all the girls are gay smh

[@graves74]

You mean Amazon. It has since been scrapped after the First season. I do entirely agree with you. They made it more about the people rather than the game. The women’s league was more about saving the sport of baseball, just as they were used in factories during the war. The women of color used in the league needs a far greater story than the one that was portrayed.

[@rainingforever-]

Just cut support to Netflix and every company going woke. We need to stop letting people get away with it

[@zt1053]

That was probably the series in 93 that aired a year after the movie.
