"letting go" figuratively with "letting go" literally.
Now, I'm a Kit Truther, but I accept this is the intended metaphor. Her "letting go" of a baseball is a metaphor for letting go of baseball.
But, she didn't do it on purpose.
A. This robs her manager and teammates who tried so hard to get into and win this game.
B. This robs Kit of a legitimate victory. Nothing is of any real value if it is just given to you and everyone pretends you earned it.
But, that doesn't invalidate the metaphor.
Heck, she doesn't even have to play in the game. She did so as to complete her obligation before resuming her married life with her husband. If she hadn't played in the game, the Peaches get blown out.

Now we can have a conversation,
So can we maybe flip the question and not ask whether she dropped it or not on purpose, but...
Did she want to win or not? Was she giving 100% or was she giving 75%? Did she have enough determination left to hold on to the ball?
Basically, is there a way to phrase it that appeases both sides?
Given the comment above, is there an argument to say that maybe it wasn't that she said internally, "I'm going to drop this ball," and instead said "I just don't have the will to hold on to it. For Kit's sake."
Do Kit Truthers require that Dottie was trying her hardest to win?

She left them, as the team leader and beat player in the league, before the start of the world series. What makes you think she suddenly cared about them winning?

Well no one but Dottie knew it. Dottie and maybe Hacksaw.

Also,
It does invalidate the metaphor because if she was beat, and she was trying to win, then it wasn't a choice. It wasn't a sacrifice.
Also, Jimmy understood. The Team? Kit? They are catalysts for her journey, one family to the next.
It doesn't rob them of anything because it is about them.
