That's fine, but then why come back and play? She could have just supported her sister from the stands? I have a hard time beleiving in the heat of the moment, someone that competitive ( and we see all movie long Dottie is uber competitive) would on the spur of the moment just decide to drop it so Kitt can have the glory.

And if it was premeditated, why not just strikeout instead of getting the hit? If she feels bad after that cause Kitt is crying, why tell the pitcher Kitts weakness? Tell her Kitt loves high fast balls, so throw something else.

When I saw the movie I remember thinking that she didn't know she was going to throw the game until the very minute she dropped the ball. I mainly thought this because of the way the scene was shot: the ball didn't go flying out of her hand from force, it rolled out slowly - as though she decided at the last second to let it go.

Of course, this is not proof at all. Just the impression it left on me.

Until that point she was determined to beat her sister, IMO.

I assume that's Penny Marshall's point, its up to the audience members to decide for themselves if she dropped it, but a fun debate

Another for the OP : Whats in the case in Pulp Fiction?

Regardless, no way the Peaches lose if Dottie doesn't go AWOL for the first 6 games of the World Series, or if Nelson doesn't sweep Marla Hooch off of her feet and marry her mid-season. Jimmy Dugan was robbed of the very first AAWBL championship.

That's what happens when girls try to play baseball. Girls are for sleeping with after you play the game.
