At what point did she make this conscious decision? Before she came BACK to the team in the middle of the championship series because she realized how bad she wanted it? What about during that final game when she was playing her arse off and helping her team to win the game with great hitting and a top notch performance on defense? Or was it in that flash of an instant when Kit was barreling towards home (defying the stop call mind you) and Dottie secured the throw and turned to face the runner? She clearly couldn't have planned it ahead of time, so you must believe she made this conflicting decision in a couple of seconds.

And the movie then made no mention or even hint of it afterward. Yet some of you people still push this theory with no support...

Right there. She could easily have hung onto that ball unless she was knocked unconscious.

But..if she wins, so what? She's still going home to start her family. Where does that leave Kit? Kit would have spent the rest of her life in the shadows of the Great Dottie Hinsin. She would have resented Dottie for the rest of her life. And as we heard many, many times, she didn't care about as much as Kit. So by dropping the ball, Dottie can still has a relationship with her sister, even if it was somewhat strained.

Kit suspected the drop ball incident, she could never really be positive she dropped it...but she spent time thinking about it, when it happened & later on. Also Kit was never really better than Dottie and she knew it. Many a sleepless night for Kit thinking about that. Note at the end, it appeared they didn't seem to be very close sisters - strained.

I think Dottie dropped the ball so Kit could play the hero for once. And I think Kit might even have known it - deep down.

Could have been from after the Reporter dude said he was writing a story on how the league didn't even want Kit, they wanted Dottie. Or it could have been from the scene where Kit gets traded and Dottie gets blamed.
