    To be completely fair, it’s not Dottie’s job to manage Kit’s jealousy, and Kit does not show any concern for Dottie unless there’s something she wants from her (i.e. getting Kit to Chicago, warning her to leave the dance hall, etc,) No “have you heard from Bob recently?” I say this as a youngest, less physically talented sister. It just is that way, sometimes. 🤷‍♀️

      100% for my part Kit, though slightly sympathetic, is one of the villains of the story. The sympathy is given by Dottie, who though she can't help give into the sibling ribbing, which Kit takes too serouslu die tonher insane jelousy,, loves her sister more than Kit can see, again due to her jealousy.
      Lol, been watching this movie since thw 80s, and I still can't get with Kit. She's such a whiney, weak, brat throughout. If she had simply relaxed, she would have been a much better player and sister. She's one of my least favorite film characters of all time. I get yin&yan but she was WAY too much for this cinephile. 😆

    Dottie wasn’t being a sore loser, she just knew she would overshadow kit if she stayed, so she pretended to not care so kit could have it. She had a husband and prospects for a family, and kit didn’t. She knew she needed it more.

    I bet you both have older siblings.
    Dottie is doing EVERYTHING for Kit.
    She wouldnt even go to the league, Kit wanting to go is the only reason she did.
    I totaly get why Kit feels so left behind, I really do...
    But its not Dotties fault.
    Shes doing everything she can to level out the playing field.
    Not backing Kit up i this situation was a purely "Whats best for the game" situation.
    It was not personal in anyway, 1% personal in this situation and Dottie wouldve pushed for Kit to stay in the game.
    Im the oldest of my siblings.
    I tried for *_decades_* to encouage my brother, to cheer him on in his sucesses.
    He still hated me cuz I was better.
    Didnt matter that whatever we did I had done it 2 years longer than he had.
    The fact that i was "better" at it made him quit and hate me.
    Some things he was WAY better at if comparing him at 6 months and me at 6 months.
    But since I had years head start I was still better right there and then compared to him.
    Younger siblings think its so easy to be the other one...
    Its not, its like being a father (or in this case mother) to them, you WANT to be their frined, you WANT them to succeed, but all you get back is jealousy and hate.
    Its the hardest thing Ive ever had to deal with, including my parents dying.
    My brother hating me fo "being better" when all I wanted was for him to succeed is the worst thing Ive ever had to deal with... still to this day.
    EDIT:
    BTW, Dottie 100% let that last ball go on purpose.

    You all didn't even notice that Madonna was in this movie. She was 'Mae", the one smoking on the ballfield and dancing in that club, and her friend was "Doris", played by Rosie O'Donnell. In real life, I'm not sure about now, but back then, Madonna and Rosie were best friends. The first inaugural season of the AAGPBL began in 1943. There was no such thing as "sexual harassment" laws during that time. As a matter of fact, It wasn't until 1980 that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) actually issued regulations defining sexual harassment in the workplace and stating it was a form of sex discrimination prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I was 23 years old in 1980 and began working in 1975. My personal experience in my first 5 years of working before there were laws to protect against sexual harassment were rampant with that kind of behavior. Women have made great strides over the years, and I really appreciate the empathy you showed for the treatment of those women. Your Mamas raised you right! Thanks for a great reaction, guys! ✌💙✌

    Having both older and younger sisters, this movie is so relatable to me. Most reactors don't seem to empathize with Kit very much so it's nice to see people take her side a bit more. It isn't Dottie's fault that Kit is jealous, but when you're an older sister, if you value your relationship with your younger sister, you can't ignore her emotions as they relate to you. You have a responsibility to deal with them, especially when they are founded in actual unfair treatment.

    Hey guys, really liked this reaction.😊 I enjoy watching reactions to this movie because it is one of my favorites. So, of course, I had to watch yours. The All American Girls Professional Baseball League lasted for 12 Seasons (1943-1954) The actual man that founded it was Philip K. Wrigley, the chewing gum mogul. Tryouts were held @ Wrigley Field in Chicago.
    The 1st year, the women were only chosen by scouts from a local softball league, but expanded later to other softball leagues. Wrigley wanted the teams to by in locations that were reasonable travel distance to Chicago so it was considered a Midwestern League. The names of the teams in the movie were actual team names.
    Wrigley owned the League from 1943-1945. In 1945, ownership went to wealthy publicist Arthur Meyerhoff. He owned the League from 1945-1951. From 1951-1954, the teams owned themselves.
    The game that the women played was a hybrid of softball & baseball. For the 1st few Seasons they played something closer to underhand fast pitch softball. The distance between the pitcher's mound & home plate was shortened by 20ft & the distance between bases was shortened by 25ft. In 1948, they started pitching overhand, the ball went from 12" in circumference to 10 3/8" which was still larger than the regulation baseball @ 9" or 9 1/4", the distance between the pitcher's mound & home plate was lengthened by 10ft. During their final Season in 1954, they played with a regulation baseball, the distance between the mound & home was standard & the distance between bases was moved to 5ft shy of standard. Former Major League players usually managed the teams. During the early years, the women were paid $45-$85 a week (2023 equivalent is $792-$1,497 a week.) which was well above average for women @the time. The varying pay was dependent on your skills as a player.
    The women did have to attend Charm School. They were ladies after all. They had to follow Rules of Conduct which were: no short hair, no smoking/drinking alcohol in public places, no pants & they must wear lipstick @ all times. Getting caught breaking those rules would result in:
    $5 fine for 1st offense.
    $10 fine for 2nd
    Suspension for 3rd.
    One player was fired for cutting her hair short.
    The League Theme song they sing in the movie is the actual Theme song with one minor change, instead of "Irish men" they say "Irish ones".
    Even though I don't know if u r going to read this, I just wanted to drop some knowledge.😊

    I think the reason dancing was higher quality back then is because there weren’t a lot of entertainment options. No video games, no social media, no streaming. It was movies or dancing.
    Also, no dating apps and speed dating wasn’t common. So dancing was a good way to meet boys/girls without your parents setting you up.

    This is one of my faves! SO glad you're watching this. I still think Dottie dropped that ball on purpose at the end. The scene where the Black woman throws the ball is their way to acknowledge that the league was segregated. There were 2 women who played in the Negro Leagues. I had the pleasure of meeting Mamie "Peanut" Johnson (I think she played for the "Indianapolis Clowns") when there was a Negro League Baseball store in Maryland.

    Some of the people were loosely based on real people in the league. Jimmy Dugan was loosely based on Jimmie Foxx and Hack Wilson, who both had superstar careers shortened by injury and alcohol. Geena Davis has a striking resemblence to Dottie Green, but was actually loosely based on Green's teammate, Dottie Kamenshek.
    Fun fact: former Major League Baseball player Casey Candaele was the son of AAGPBL star Helen Candaele, who was league batting champ in 1945, and stole over 400 bases in a 6 year career.

    Been watching you guys for a while now. You're a hoot! Some recommendations: Like someone below said, "The 'Burbs" with Tom Hanks is great. It's my favorite movie of his. It's like this movie in that it's really rewatchable. Also, "The Quick and the Dead" is great. You might also react to "Rope," "Glory," "Lincoln," "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Father of the Bride" (the Steve Martin remake from 1991). A diverse group of movies mixing comedy and drama, but they're all great.

    This is a Penny Marshall film, she played Laverne in the Sitcom Laverne and Shirley. Mr. Harvey was played by Penny Marshall's Brother Garry Marshall. The guy dancing with Madonna (All The Way May) was Eddie Mekka. He played Carmine (aka the Big Ragoo) on Laverne and Shirley. He was an excellent Singer and Dancer. One of Baseball Stadium Announcers calling the game was David Lander who played Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley. The Baseball Scout was played by Jon Lovitz (from Saturday Night Live). Many of his insults and funny comments weren't in the script and were adlibs by Lovitz himself. Jimmy Duggan (Tom Hank's character) was based on the Real Manager of the Rockford Peaches former Star Player Jimmy Foxx. Kit (Lori Petty) has a Cult following as the title character in the movie Tank Girl. The horrible Bruise was real and took over a year to heal. The older players were actual members of the American Professional Girls Baseball League.

    One of the military men in the bar dancing with one of the girls is the late Eddie Mekka. Eddie co-starred with Penny Marshall in the hit TV series, "Laverne and Shirley" as Carmine "The Big Ragu" Ragusa. Carmine was an aspiring boxer who was also a dancer and singer. He and Shirley (Cindy William) had a relationship at the beginning of the series. "Laverne and Shirley" was a spin off of the hit series "Happy Day", both of which was produced by Penny Marshall's brother, Garry, who plays Mr. Harvey in this movie.

    You two I guessed talk over somethings because you world ask what something was right after it was already explained. And the people who suggested and voted for this movie didn't tell you it was based on a true story or real life events?
    It's always interesting to me of the people who feel for Kit. She is such a spoiled brat. Lol! Then dottie gave her the win because she was sick a baby. I'm a sport purest. You either earn it or you don't. Lol Dottie let the ball go on purpose. They made a point to signal that result in the movie. Remember how they made a point to show that dottie held on to the ball earlier AFTER getting hit.
    Dottie also left because of kit. Kit cried and got everything handed to her.
    And yes the older women at the end age the real women that played and who some of the characters were based off and they did change their names.

    Women did a lot of jobs during WWII, not just baseball. They worked in factories, made airplanes and even flew the airplanes to deliver them. When the war ended, they were all expected to go back to be housewives. The men needed the jobs since they were the breadwinners of the family. Sexual harassment was common and considered acceptable. That was the culture at the time. Women have fought for years to be accepted as equals. We’ve made a lot of progress, but there’s still a ways to go- Deb

    Garry Marshall plays Mr. Harvey, a successful business man who bankrolls the Women's League. Ira Levinson, the tall thin man with glasses who communicates with the team (and is played by David Strathairn) is employed by Harvey. I believe it was explained early in the script.
    Garry Marshall, by the way, was a famous producer/director/actor. He is the father of Penny Marshall, the director of this movie, and who was also an actress, especially popular as a recurring character in "The Odd Couple" series and as a lead in "Laverne and Shirley", where she played Laverne.
