Did Dottie drop the ball on purpose?

[AirPoh]

A League Of Their Own

In the climatic scene, Dotti, the older sister playing catcher, drops the ball when her little sister Kit slams into her at home. Meaning Kit's team wins the World Series .

I interpreted it that way.

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Yes, she threw the game to make her sister feel good.

Apparently, nobody on her own team was worth a shit and none if their efforts over the season mattered half a damn.

 

[CJW]

I would say, no. As Dottie said - Kit wanted it more.

now..if you want to talk about the Bridge on the River Kwai, that's another story...

 

[Mediancat]

I don't think so -- that would have made it meaningless, and she's not going to throw a game to please her sister and screw over her teammates.
