This movie kicked off a decade of Tom Hanks delivering great performances in box office hits, a truly untouchable stretch: A League of Their Own (1992) Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Philadelphia (1993) Forrest Gump (1994) Apollo 13 (1995) Toy Story (1995) That Thing You Do! (1996) Saving Private Ryan (1998) You've Got Mail (1998) Toy Story 2 (1999) The Green Mile (1999) Cast Away (2000) Road to Perdition (2002) Catch Me If You Can (2002)

This is a great film for baseball but I have a suggestion if you dont mind. Have you ever seen Moneyball?

Jaykaul

omg I was literally just thinking about this one you should watch after Cast Away when thinking of other Tom Hanks movies for you to see. You did not disappoint. Time to give it a watch

Teegan, there’s no crying in baseball! 😉 The one movie role that I think Madonna actually did a good job with. And is there anything that Tom Hanks CAN’T do?! The Yankees should have added Marla Hooch to Murderer’s Row.

Cesar Alonso

I think she would absolutely love Moneyball! I suggested it on the livestream and she added it to the list. Hope to get it soon since she is doing 2 baseball themed movies back to back

There is no crying in this reaction...she is crying sir...😋

My favorite line tho... "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... it's what makes it great"

Hey Teegan.. Im so glad you watched this.. Ive been meaning to watch again just never had an excuse til now. A couple of interesting facts.. Penny Marshal ( the director) wanted actresses who could play ball.. that was her requirement. The other cool fact, or painful one, was that bruise on Alices leg was real .. it was a result of all the takes they did to get the slide she did just right for the movie. And yes Dotties husband is Bill Pullman from Casper.. also Bill's son Lewis played Bob in Thunderbolts* (The New Avengers) . I knew youd like this.. and dang if you tearing up didnt get me to as well. Im surprised youve never seen this movie til now. Great reaction as always. And I too live close to Cooperstown. Ive been to the BB hall of fame.. but that AAGPBL display wasnt there anymore.. it was only there for a limited time from what I remember.

Great movie, had not seen in a long time, was good watching it again on your reaction. This brings back a lot of memories of when I met about 8 of the women from that league at that first season. Sadly, i know they have all pasted away, it was the year this movie came out. I have a photo signed and everything.

John A

BTW your comment at the end of your reactions, I always look forward to hearing, let's me know what you like or not like, or how you see these movies. love it, keep it up

Jimmy signing the baseball for the little boy with "avoid the clap" and then telling him "That's good advice," has always cracked me up.

Larry Darrell

I’ve always wondered why there couldn’t be a Professional Women’s Baseball League. I’d watch it. This is one of my favorite Baseball films, of which there are many. Watched this a ton of times as a kid. I never even considered that Dottie let Kit win. I think it works better that way, IMO. If you ever get interested in Classic films, there’s a terrific one, that is a true story… The Stratton Story (1949) with James Stewart as the sadly not so well remembered White Sox pitcher, Monty Stratton. This is a story that should be known by more. Looking forward to Field of Dreams. It’s a Special One.

Ron White

I have never cared for the theory that Dottie dropped the ball to let Kit win. The movie had several points of exposition about how hard ALL the girls worked and suffered to make their dream a reality. The hard work, travel, playing thru injuries, prejudice and insults suffered and the fear of whether they would be shut down at any minute and lose their best and perhaps only shot at a better life affected ALL these girls. For Dottie to "let"Kit win would have been a betrayal of all her team mates and their hard work and struggles. And for the movie to suggest such is I think insulting to the real women who lived and made this history. Clearly these women were in no personal danger from the war but many of them were non the less fighting for their lives, just in a different way. Think if Band of Brothers had Winters betray Easy Co. for some nebulous personal reason even if no one got hurt. Think of his advice to Compton to never put himself in a position to take from the men. That is exactly what Dottie would have been doing by cheating to throw the game to benefit Kit. And that's exactly what it would have been and I don't think Dottie could be at peace with that on her conscience. From a tactical standpoint It also doesn't make sense. Dottie reminds the pitcher that Kit can't hit the high fast balls which is then all the pitcher throws. The symbolism of Kit finally hitting the very last one on a 2 strike pitch can't be overlooked. That was her effort alone finally breaking through when Dottie did her best to stop her. As she's running the bases after she rounds third for home she ignores the stop sign from the third base coach and goes for broke which was absolutely reckless and caught Dottie off guard. As Dottie is catching the throw from the fielder she squares up to block Home Plate with Kit bearing down on her at full speed. This would literally give Dottie about 3 seconds to decide to throw the game for Kits benefit and and maneuver to make it look legitimate. At this point she was in hyper competitive mode and could not have over ridden those programmed reflexes that quickly. Hence the close up shot of Dottie dropping the ball. If the producers truly wanted a have it your way ending they could have left out that shot or made it more visually vague. I personally don't think the producers intended for it to be controversial until certain segments of the audience - NOT saying who- decided to make it controversial for their own reasons 🤔 and the producers decided to milk the publicity by refusing to clarify it. As I said, I think it does a disservice to the real women who lived this but I guess that's Hollywood. Anyway GREAT reaction and ❤️ the channel.

Tom won back to back Best Actor Oscars for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump

Justin Philbrook

For the Olympics coming up, you should watch Miracle. if you haven't already. You would love it.

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Hi Ron! You made a lot of interesting points here! As someone new to sports, I don't often pick up on the underlying subtleties of the game itself. Or the unwritten rules as it were. Curious to see what others have to say too!

TeeZee22

I don’t like the idea of Dottie letting Kit win for the reasons you mentioned. However, it’s easy to see how people can come to that conclusion. Dottie did start the movie by telling her older grandson to go easy on his younger brother.

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Okay so you agree with what Ron mentioned above! I think that's probably the best way to think about it too!

TeeZee22

Absolutely! I love that movie. This will be my first time watching it since my grandfather died 2 years ago. He got me into sports at a very young age and used to play catch with me a lot. The ending is going to make me think of him.

Justin Philbrook

I agree Dottie didn't drop it on purpose. I DO think Dottie was finally conflicted by the impact of pitting her skill directly against her sister, something she loved doing, and winning, earlier in the film. My personal opinion is that this conflict took away from her 100% focus on being her best and winning, and probably contributed to dropping the ball, which Dottie alluded to by saying Kit "Wanted it more."

Larry Darrell

Great points Ron. That is the only way to look at it. The clearest point was Dottie telling Ellen Sue to pitch high and fast. She was in it to win it, but also loved to see Kit get a win all on her own. That happy look Dottie gives as she sees Kit being carried away by her team, is a bitter sweet moment for her. She hates it for her team, but loves it for Kit.

Larry Darrell

Favorite line that cracks me every time… “In the 43 years I’ve been practicing medicine, I never saw a woman throw up so much.” “Maybe it’s how she entertains herself Doc.”

Stretch

Kit has to be one of the most annoying and undeserving winner ever! She blamed all her problems on everyone else except herself!

WallyWeasel

Funny that most consider Forrest Gump as Hanks' turning point from comedy to dramatic actor but this one came out two years prior to that. A nice transitional role that I like to believe helped get him into Forrest. -side note; apparently looking up certain movies on Google gives you little emojis. Also, I know this isn't it, but happy 100 posts. :)

Tara ✨💫

WOW! I haven't seen this movie in a very long time, but my eyes were already getting teary when Dottie was talking with her grandsons. The AAGPBL All American Girls Professional Baseball Laeague was real from 1943-1954. The Rockford Peaches and The Racine Belles were real teams, but the league had over 600 players. I believe the women playing during the end credits were members of the league and Madonna wrote and sang the song during the credits.

Grizzly

Nope. Dottie did not let her win. It’s like she said, Kit just wanted it more. Great movie. Great reaction. And especially great advice from Jimmy Dugan…”avoid the clap”

Robert da Spruce

Great film! I enjoyed your reaction Teagan! It is uncanny how they found actors that looked so much like their younger counterparts! I also like how they kept the ending ambiguous. Did Dottie drop the ball on purpose? They carefully showed earlier in the film Dottie getting ran over by another base runner and she hung on to the ball. Hinting that she dropped the ball on purpose. But, Dottie also goes to mound before Kit’s at bat, and tells the pitcher exactly how to strike Kit out. Hinting she’s going for the win My personal opinion, I think she dropped the ball on purpose 😊

Michael Kemmet

Teegan: Says at the beginning that she doesn't have tissues and is recording this and then another video afterward. Me: Knows this movie well and sees Field of Dreams is next. Me: Oh no. (I realize from the different outfits that FoD was probably not the second recording she was referring to, but still... lol) Also super happy about the squeal when she recognized Don S. Davies(Gen. Hammond).

That's so smart to put the outros as free patreon content! i've seen at least one other youtube react channel post their "movie discussion" or "after thoughts" as a separate youtube video, so that people who click on it are the ones who wouldn't click off that portion in the first place. But to put it as free content on patreaon is better - it's still completely free, which i think is important because it's such a large part of the actual "reacting". But this way it'll drive more traffic to your patreon page which i'm sure will increase paid memberships -- way to turn a problem into a positive!

Larry Darrell

There is a film, released one year earlier, about the Eight Chicago White Sox players who were banned from Professional Baseball, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, after the 1919 World Series. Eight Men Out (1988)… starring John Cusack, Charlie Sheen and David Strathairn (who you just saw in this film as Ira Lowenstein) Highly Recommended.

Crystal and Shaun Henderson

As much as I love this movie, Kit's arc really makes me mad. Yes, it's understandable that she would feel overshadowed by her sister, but her sister does EVERYTHING for her and she's incredibly ungrateful and yet she still ends up getting what she wants (her own achievement and the recognition of her talent). I feel like they could have written her character to be less abrasive and a little more balanced so that the arc felt more earned. I do at least appreciate that she shows her sister some love at the end when she's going home. --C

Hi Tee! I came back for this and saw other stuff like BrBa that I wanna see you react to too. another lighthearted baseball movie I think you would like is The Sandlot (I just checked and I see you've not reacted to that so I assume you've not seen it either - and there's no crying 😜); even if you're not fond of baseball or know nothing about it (well after this you know something ofc...) BIG ❤️❤️ hearts just for having done this as I'm about to start... NOW. Edit: Ah, shadow-banning... Ever since I first heard that word because my friends The SoapGirls (a band) were shadow-banned a lot (esp. on what I now call fecesbook (sorry)), and they described what they were going through, it has screamed 'fascism!' to me. And 'just' bc some peeps don't watch your outros??? Ri-effing-diculous! Okay I had to say that, now back to whare I was, and good luck with all this! 😘❤️

MertzRocks

Wow thx Larry, even I haven't seen that yet.

...Just a FEW years late for Murderer's Row, lol
