True story. A lady from my church growing up played for the Kenosha (my hometown) team IRL. She is seen during the last scene of them checking out the museum. Back then, we thought that was so cool.
I'm truly naïve. I always assumed Kit beat her fair and square.
The thought that Dottie did it on purpose because she loved her sister more than baseball is endearing.
But I was the kid sister who could never be as good as her older sibling, so I always honed in on the moment where Kit finally won fair and square (or so I thought).

Now I'm kinda crushed.
See, I think it's partly the big sister in me that never thought to question whether Dottie did that for her sister.
I know it's all sweet and everything, Dottie sacrifices the game because she loves her sister more. But, dammit!!! Doesn't Kit ever REALLY get a moment?
You do wonder if it was a conscious decision, or if in the moment she just went with the impulse and not so much let go as didn't try very hard to hold on.
I LOVE that movie, even though I always cry for Betty and again at the end when they sing. The cast as a whole was so strong together.
Hmm, it never occurred to me that she did it on purpose but I believe it. I'm a younger sister, but I played softball and my older sister was not athletic at all.
I love this movie so much. I'm always singing the "batter up" locker room song to dd. I've also looked up this costume for her future halloweens, lol.

Of course she let go! Come on, now, people.
Incidentally, when my sister and I are talking about someone who isn't very attractive but we don't want our kids to hear, we always say "What a hitter!" I love Marla Hooch...Hooch.

I've had this pinned for pretty much the last year, since we found out DD was a girl
It's totally happening one year.
ETA: and of course she let go on purpose. Dottie never made a mistake on the field!
