A League Of Their Own (1992) "This Used to be my Playground"



In the farm
of Oregon
Dottie Henson
and
Kit Keller
are working
on the farm.
Sisters that do
love each other,
except when
it comes
to baseball.
Kit wants to play
in the league
but is upset
to hear that
it is Dottie
who is chosen to play
for the AAPGL.
(All American Pro Girls League)
Dottie refuses to play
unless Kit can come along.
AAPGL was only made
because of the World War II
and all of the man were in the war.
Along the way
to the stadium they meet
Marla Hooch who is a great hitter,
but to most people not the prettiest girl.
When they are going to try out
they meet Doris and Mae
because Doris threw a baseball
at Dottie who caught it impressing Doris.
They girls find out
their new manager is Jimmy Dugan.
Jimmy Dugan drinks a lot
and is the worst manager
until Dottie get through to him
and he becomes a better person.
Miss Cuthbert makes sure
the rules are followed,
no boys, no drinking or smoking
until Mae poisons her meal.
The girls go to party
and Marla who had been overlooked
a lot is noticed by a guy named Nelson.
Dottie's husband Bob is in the army
and when news comes
that a man in the army has been killed
it turns out to be Betty Spaghetti's husband.
After awhile, Kit feels
that once again
like at home
she is behind Dottie's shadow.
Dottie notices it too
and asks
to be transferred to another team.
Of course
Mr. Lovitz doesn't want the best
player to be transferred
so he has Kit transferred to Racine.
Kit feels that Dottie did this on purpose.
Kit plays for the Racine while Dottie plays for Rockford.
In the final scene
Dottie is crashed into by Kit
and she drops the ball, letting Racine win,
making Kit have her own stardom
instead of being in Dottie's shadow.
The girls have a reunion
and they remember the fun they had together.

Mine too.

Kit is my favourite character in the movie because I can relate to her.

I always wanted Dottie and Jimmy to end up together, you could tell he had feelings for her.

Ooh - add me please! This is one of my favorite movies! I agree that Dottie and Jimmy had a ton of chemistry. The movie really seems to specialize in bitterwseet endings b/c I wanted Dottie and Jimmy to end up together, although I didn't necessarily want her to just leave Bob....and then there was the end where you wanted Dottie and the Peaches to win but then Kit deserved her moment too.

Kit was so annoying!

I love this movie, my favorite thing ever is when they are doing the news piece on each of the girls, talking about their beauty and whatnot. Then they show Marla Hooch waving at the camera like 50 yards away, and they just say "what a hitter!" hahaha poor gal
