In A League of Their Own…Do you think Dottie drops the ball on purpose at the end?.
So now that we have a ton of new members since that one, I’m going to ask for new opinions and thoughts about it.
Me, I don’t think she did. They made a very big deal out of showing a close up of her hand and the ball falling out of it in slow motion. I think that was a hint and that it showed Kit had become better than her in Baseball, finally, enough to win the final game against her when it mattered.
I’ve always seen it as Dottie deliberately drops the ball. Just asked the wife, who was a catcher all through high school, and she concurs–you don’t drop the rock when the game’s on the line.
I don’t think she dropped it on purpose. I think she respected her sister too much at that point to condescend to her. It was a major moment of character growth for Dottie.
Who said they didn’t want to play? Dottie dropping the ball on purpose to help her sister was symbolic. She was the real natural talent and she gave it all up for her sister and her man.
Sorry. I don’t see where I said that and if I did, I didn’t mean to. What I meant to say was Dottie deliberately dropped the ball because family was more important to her than baseball. It was symbolic of what eventually happened to women’s professional baseball.
I never thought she dropped it on purpose. Dottie was a classic, hard-ass (heh!), “team first” player and a leader, who would never have dreamed of such a thing. She could not have deliberately let down people who had a right to count on her, IMO. Her sister had no right to expect such a thing–again, that would have been out of character.
Right. You’re claiming that women’s baseball doesn’t work because women have better things to do. I disagree. There are thousands of women that would do nearly anything to play sports for a living. Women’s baseball doesn’t work because nobody cares about women’s sports.
Waitaminit! That’s not what I’m saying. That is my interpretation of the movie. Dottie dropped the ball so, in the end, there was no a league of their own. According to A League Of Their Own, not according to Biggirl.
