This is one of those movies I grew up watching with my mom and sister. Whenever one of started getting upset it was always, “are you crying? There’s no crying… there’s no crying in baseballlll”
Fun (or not so fun) fact: that massive bloody bruise on that one girl’s leg was not make up. It was an actual injury the actress endured while filming. Took a year for it to fully heal.
I love this film so much. Some great quotable lines and excellent performances. The ladies shown playing ball over the end credits were real players who the story is based on.
Apparently, this role goes down as one of Hank’s favorite performances. He said it was lots of fun plus he was able to have his family around for the summer while they were shooting so it was one of the easier shoots as well as his character not being the traditional “good” guy role he usually plays
My kids are always confused when I tell them "Don't run. You'll scare the chickens." We don't have chickens. Just a throw away line from the farm scene, but now my kids are stuck with it.
She totally dropped it on purpose! I have four younger sisters and we would watch this movie all the time. We all agree that we would NEVER throw a game for each other, lmao! We are way too competitive with each other.😏
Strongly disagree. No way she dropped it on purpose. She's not throwing it for her team because of her little sister after making her little sister work her ass off to earn it.
I can't believe there are people who seriously think Dottie would come back for the World Series and betray her teammates just to make Kit feel better. Never mind that there is NOTHING in the entire movie to indicate that Dottie is the kind of person who would do such a thing. Kit won fair and square -- that's why Dottie is so proud of her.
@ disagree, they specifically show a scene in the movie of the same play where Dottie gets railed by a girl twice Kits size and girth and she holds on to the ball no problem. Dottie is the best player by far and Kit even says early in the movie after their softball game in Oregon “you can’t even LET ME walk faster than you”? This indicates the only way Kit could ever beat Dottie is if she let her. We even have the scene with her grandsons and she tells the older one to give the younger one opportunity to shoot the ball. She is very conscious of giving the younger sibling the appearance of confidence. Like when I let my five year old nephew beat me in air hockey so he can feel good and confident in himself. It’s sweet.
Dottie did not drop the ball on purpose. Why even come back to just throw the game? Why give Ellen the heads up on the pitch to get her to strike out? Remember in the beginning when they were walking? Dottie just had to walk faster. It’s called competition and that’s what helped Kit fight back and finally beat her sister.
Everyone has their own opinion and theories. I personally think she dropped it so her little sister can finally get out her shadow. She was never coming back after that game anyways. She set her sister up for life. There’s a reason why it showed the catcher from the other team plow through her earlier and she held on like nothing. Kit didn’t hit her near as hard
Kit hit her _way_ harder and there were _just_ as many signs that she did not drop it on purpose and that Kit earned it in her own. *including the scene of her not dropping it earlier. Depends on perception of the individual for sure.
@ that’s why I said everyone has their own opinion. It’s left for us to assume whether Dottie dropped it on purpose or not. There will be no right or wrong answer. Just assumptions
I have the same opinion as u. Even in the opening scene u could see how her heart is for younger siblings when she told her oldest grandchild to go easy on the younger one. Nothing deep but added on top of all the other hints I feel they added throughout the movie. But it could just be the way it was. As a younger sibling, I feel she dropped it on purpose 😂
Yeah, Kit may have been running faster but she’s a third the size of that other girl. That combined with other hints including their relationship dynamic the entire movie lead me to believe it was on purpose.
@@atmorb no I totally agree. Her telling her older grandson to take it easy was almost an exact comparison to her and Kit. Kit was a good player but nowhere near the level Dottie was at.
Everyone always quotes the “no crying in baseball” scene, but “did anyone ever tell you you look like a penis with a little hat on” remains one of the funniest lines in a movie I’ve ever heard since I first watched this as a kid. So underrated lol
I wish more people reacted to That Thing You Do. It was Tom Hanks directorial debut, he starred in it, and he wrote it. And it's super fun and really good.
In the beginning of the film Jimmy Dugan rips up the baseball card that Betty hands him. She is the same woman who receives the telegram about George from the war department.
I'm glad they left this out but there was a deleted scene right before Dottie says that she needs to leave the league, it shows her and Tom Hanks kiss. Definitely changes the whole context of why she was so distraught and wanting to leave.
I am NOT surprised by that, there was always that sort of a vibe there as he gains respect for Dottie and she gets to know him...I don't think she was falling in love or anything but they did have good chemistry. I'm glad they left that out.
I don't think there's any chance she dropped that ball on purpose. There's no way that her ethics would allow her to do that to her team and I don't think she would make her sister work that hard for it just to give it to her in the end. All of the signs that one can use to point out that she dropped it on purpose can just as easily be used to show that she did not drop it on purpose.
If you want to see another Tom Hanks performance like you have never seen him before checkout Elvis (2022). He is totally despicable and his character is a perfect antagonist for the film.
Let’s start a fight: did Dottie drop the ball on purpose or did Kit knock it out of her hand? one of my favorite movies with some of my favorite performances.
@@jdrussell3828strongly disagree. It all depends on perception and how you interpret the *signs because there are signs that could make you think one way or the other. I personally don't think she would make Kit work that hard and then throw it for her whole team just for her little sister. I believe her ethics are better than that. She made her sister work for it and Kit earned it. I'm not going to take that away from her and I don't think Dottie would either.
I've watched you for a while, Jimmy. Great reactions but I think your subscribers would increase if you got better editing. Too many scenes are cut off before you react so it's confusing to know exactly what you're reacting to. I'm still subscribed!

“Avoid the clap”- Jimmy Dougan 😅😅😅

You beat me to it, divulging this fun fact
I agree, I've never seen Hanks play a character quite like this in any other movie - and it's amazing. Really wholesome and wonderful movie overall!
One of the most underrated Hans Zimmer scores ❤️

The song at the end, 'This Used to be my Playground' was written and performed by Madonna.
Yeeeees I love this movie. “There’s no crying in baseball” is permanently stuck in my brain.

My favorite part is when tom hanks signs the baseball! 😂😂 avoid the clap Jimmy Dugan
That's good advice 😂😂😂
'Maybe she didn't drop it on purpose"
Nah, she dropped it on purpose.
Geena Davis says it was not dropped on purpose. Dottie would never have done that to her team. Kit earned that win.
"it's mostly her genetics, sir" had me howling hahaha
Heartfelt reunion of Dottie and Bob...
(Next scene)
Jimmy: WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS BUS?!
Everyone always quotes the “no crying in baseball” scene, but “did anyone ever tell you you look like a penis with a little hat on” remains one of the funniest lines in a movie I’ve ever heard since I first watched this as a kid. So underrated lol
THis is one of my favorite movies of all time!!!!
Filmed partially in my home town, Evansville IN!
Go down a Tom Hanks rabbit hole. I HIGHLY suggest The Burbs. Followed by That Thing You Do!
I wish more people reacted to That Thing You Do. It was Tom Hanks directorial debut, he starred in it, and he wrote it. And it's super fun and really good.
And it has some great humor too. The Burbs is my all time favorite Hanks movie for the darkish comedy it invokes.
HIGHLY AGREE with That Thing You Do. GREAT movie. Fun and funny.
@@theshadowfax239I had no idea, I’ve watched that movie so many times
Jimmy, if you want to LAUGH...The Money Pit. Early Tom Hanks, and absolutely unhinged.
this is a great movie.
I live where this opened up at....mid willamette valley oregon.some parts still look like that.......basball fields in farmland⚾#home
24:48 Imcan confirm theyre real, and theyre spectacular.
This is my 3rd movie of all time, behind #1 nightmare before christmas and #2 Clue
Jimmy Dougan is a whole vibe.
I haven't seen this in a loooooong time but I'll remember the loooooooong piss forever haha. And always "there's no crying in baseball" of course.
In the beginning of the film Jimmy Dugan rips up the baseball card that Betty hands him. She is the same woman who receives the telegram about George from the war department.
I'm glad they left this out but there was a deleted scene right before Dottie says that she needs to leave the league, it shows her and Tom Hanks kiss. Definitely changes the whole context of why she was so distraught and wanting to leave.

The sister played the girlfriend in Point Break with Keanu Reeves
And the lead in Tank Girl
Geena Davis was a goddess for like a decade. Good lord.
That huge bruise was real, and was there for about a year 😮
For Love Of the Game would be my baseball movie recommendation. 🙇

Loooove this movie ❤

My wife and I love this movie and I think geena davis dropped the ball on purpose if her team had won she'd never hear the end of it
I watch baseball games at the stadium they built for this movie. 🍑

Geena Davis has never been hotter.
