1. - Come here, Bobby.
- Come on. Give me...
Copy !req
2. You might need that.
Copy !req
3. Where'd you find this?
Copy !req
4. It was in one of those cartons.
Copy !req
5. - Needs oil.
- Who doesn't?
Copy !req
6. You ready?
Copy !req
7. - I'm not going.
- Mom!
Copy !req
8. I already got two children,
I don't need a third.
Copy !req
9. Why is it so important that I go?
Copy !req
10. Well, for one thing, it'd be nice
if you just left the room.
Copy !req
11. Besides, these are your old friends.
Copy !req
12. They probably won't even
remember me.
Copy !req
13. The "Queen of Diamonds,"
Dottie Hinson?
Copy !req
14. I just don't think this is a good idea.
Copy !req
15. Oh, come on, Mom. I mean,
you're gonna get to see Aunt Kit.
Copy !req
16. - You hardly ever see each other.
- We still won't.
Copy !req
17. She'll be traveling around
with that husband of hers.
Copy !req
18. - Frank. He has a name.
- Frank.
Copy !req
19. And he's always been
very nice to you.
Copy !req
20. He makes me nervous.
Copy !req
21. - There's a lot of reasons why I can't go.
- Mom.
Copy !req
22. Honey...
Copy !req
23. I'm not comfortable about this.
I'm not really part of it.
Copy !req
24. It was never that important to me.
It was just something I did.
Copy !req
25. When are you gonna realize how
special it was, how much it all meant?
Copy !req
26. I...
Copy !req
27. Yeah. I know how you feel.
I really do.
Copy !req
28. But you're going.
Copy !req
29. Car.
Copy !req
30. - A car, a train, a bus. I'm tired already.
- Sleep on the plane.
Copy !req
31. - Grandma's out. Is there a fire?
- Wisenheimer.
Copy !req
32. Julie next door is watching you.
I don't want any bad reports.
Copy !req
33. - Okay. Bye, Grandma.
- Bye.
Copy !req
34. Jeffrey, come here.
Copy !req
35. No matter what your brother does,
he's littler than you are.
Copy !req
36. Give him a chance to shoot. Promise?
Copy !req
37. - Yeah.
- Okay.
Copy !req
38. Bobby, come here.
Copy !req
39. Kill him.
Copy !req
40. Come on, you'll miss your plane.
Copy !req
41. Yeah!
Copy !req
42. Well, I still think I shouldn't go.
Copy !req
43. Get a hit, Beans!
Copy !req
44. I'm coming, Mae! I'm coming!
Copy !req
45. This week in the world of sports.
Copy !req
46. With the boys overseas
and off to war...
Copy !req
47. baseball pitches in
for the war effort.
Copy !req
48. Trading bats for bullets,
Yankee Joe DiMaggio...
Copy !req
49. promises to give
those Nazis a jolt.
Copy !req
50. Ace fireballer Bob Feller...
Copy !req
51. has traded Cleveland gray
for Navy blue.
Copy !req
52. Baseball's biggest stars say:
Copy !req
53. "Look out, Mr. Hitler.
The Yanks are coming."
Copy !req
54. Not to mention the Indians,
Red Sox and Tigers.
Copy !req
55. And they won't come back
till it's over, over there.
Copy !req
56. Meanwhile, Chicago club owner
Walter Harvey, the candy-bar king...
Copy !req
57. met with other team owners at the
Harvey Mansion as rumors persist...
Copy !req
58. that baseball may be shut down
for the duration of the war.
Copy !req
59. Harvey's promotional whiz kid,
Ira Lowenstein...
Copy !req
60. has been given the job of figuring
out how to keep baseball going.
Copy !req
61. Good luck, Mr. Lowenstein.
Copy !req
62. Strike 2!
Copy !req
63. Hey!
Copy !req
64. - Hey, fatso!
- Come on!
Copy !req
65. Get the hell out of the way!
What are you, crazy?
Copy !req
66. Strike 3!
Copy !req
67. Kit! Kit!
Copy !req
68. - Sis, don't swing at that high pitch.
- I can hit it.
Copy !req
69. - You can't.
- I can.
Copy !req
70. This bat's too heavy.
You'll never get it around.
Copy !req
71. I will!
Copy !req
72. Kit, Kit. Listen. There's a big hole
on the right side. Don't look.
Copy !req
73. - Unless she pitches inside, pull it.
- I know.
Copy !req
74. Batter up!
Copy !req
75. No high ones.
Copy !req
76. I like the high ones!
Copy !req
77. - Mule!
- Nag!
Copy !req
78. Come on, one more.
Copy !req
79. Easy out, easy out.
Copy !req
80. Come on, Kit.
Keep your eye on the ball.
Copy !req
81. Right in here, right here.
Copy !req
82. Strike 1!
Copy !req
83. Strike 2!
Copy !req
84. Too high. No.
Copy !req
85. All right, Kit. Look it over!
Copy !req
86. Look it over there!
Copy !req
87. Strike 3!
Copy !req
88. All right, two out, everybody.
That's two away!
Copy !req
89. - Better luck next time!
- Come on, Dottie!
Copy !req
90. - Knock it out of here!
- Okay, Dottie!
Copy !req
91. Two outs. Batter up!
Copy !req
92. Dottie!
Copy !req
93. - You can do it.
- Play ball.
Copy !req
94. Right in here, Becky.
Copy !req
95. Bring them in, bring them in!
Copy !req
96. Bring them in there, Dottie!
Copy !req
97. Ball!
Copy !req
98. - Keep your eye on it, Dottie!
- Come on, Becky.
Copy !req
99. Come on, Dottie! One hit and we win!
Copy !req
100. Dottie!
Copy !req
101. That's it, Dottie! You did it!
Copy !req
102. Great.
Copy !req
103. That's the ball game!
Copy !req
104. Dottie, Dottie, Dottie.
Copy !req
105. That was a swell hit. Good job!
Copy !req
106. Hey, Kit! What are you swinging
those high ones for?
Copy !req
107. Good thing your sister bailed you out.
Copy !req
108. How about the two bucks you owe me
for this game?
Copy !req
109. Kit! Wait up, I'll give you a ride!
Copy !req
110. - Would you stop kicking the rocks?
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
111. - That game just made me so mad.
- Kit, we won. Get mad if we lose.
Copy !req
112. That last pitch was
right down the middle.
Copy !req
113. If I'd have swung at that,
I'd be the big hero.
Copy !req
114. - You got me so crazy...
- All I said was lay off the high ones.
Copy !req
115. "Good thing your sister
bailed you out, Kit."
Copy !req
116. "Kit, why don't you get your sister
to teach you how to hit?"
Copy !req
117. "Why can't you be beautiful
like your sister?"
Copy !req
118. What idiot said that?
Copy !req
119. No one.
Copy !req
120. - But that's what they were thinking.
- No, it's not!
Copy !req
121. No?
Copy !req
122. You ever hear Dad
introduce us to people?
Copy !req
123. "This is our daughter Dottie.
Copy !req
124. This is our other daughter,
Dottie's sister."
Copy !req
125. Should've just had you
and bought a dog.
Copy !req
126. - Mitch Swaley likes you.
- He's one step up from dating pigs.
Copy !req
127. But an important step.
Copy !req
128. - Why are you walking so fast?
- Why are you?
Copy !req
129. - Because you are.
- Can't even let me walk faster than you?
Copy !req
130. Sure.
Copy !req
131. Girls, you got chores to do.
Copy !req
132. Don't run! You'll scare the chickens!
Copy !req
133. I don't have time for these games.
Copy !req
134. - Why are you running?
- You can run faster.
Copy !req
135. Your legs are longer.
Copy !req
136. - I win!
- Barely.
Copy !req
137. Hey.
Copy !req
138. Hey!
Copy !req
139. Hey, yourself.
Copy !req
140. Doesn't that hurt them?
Copy !req
141. It doesn't seem to.
Copy !req
142. It would bruise the hell out of me.
Copy !req
143. Who are you?
Copy !req
144. I'm Ernie Capadino, baseball scout.
Copy !req
145. I saw you playing today.
Not bad, not bad.
Copy !req
146. Ever hear of Walter Harvey?
Harvey Bars?
Copy !req
147. You know, the candy?
Copy !req
148. Yeah, we feed them to the cows
when they're constipated.
Copy !req
149. He's starting
a girls' baseball league...
Copy !req
150. so we can make a buck
while the boys are overseas.
Copy !req
151. Wanna play?
Copy !req
152. Nice retort. Tryouts are in Chicago.
It's a real league, professional.
Copy !req
153. Professional baseball?
Copy !req
154. They'll pay you $75 a week.
Copy !req
155. We only make 30 at the dairy.
Copy !req
156. Well, then, this would be more,
wouldn't it? You interested?
Copy !req
157. Come on. Seventy-five dollars a week?
Copy !req
158. Pull her leg.
Mine are long enough already.
Copy !req
159. Look, your country needs you.
Copy !req
160. And you can not only play ball,
but you're kind of a dolly.
Copy !req
161. Oh, now I get it. Listen, mister.
Copy !req
162. I'm a married woman.
My husband's overseas.
Copy !req
163. Oh, relax!
I'm talking lookie, no touchie.
Copy !req
164. We want girls easy on the eye.
Copy !req
165. I'll go. I'm ready right now.
I gotta sign something?
Copy !req
166. I don't want you! I want her!
The one who hit the ball!
Copy !req
167. You can climb back under the cow.
Copy !req
168. She's good. She's very good.
Copy !req
169. She pitches. She didn't today,
because she did yesterday.
Copy !req
170. Thanks for that special glimpse
into her life.
Copy !req
171. I want you.
Copy !req
172. You I saw, you I like. What do you say?
The train leaves for Chicago tomorrow.
Copy !req
173. - What do you say? Are you in?
- No, thanks.
Copy !req
174. Dottie.
Copy !req
175. "No, thanks"?
Copy !req
176. Hey, no skin off my Ashtabula.
Copy !req
177. If you wanna pluck cows,
that's your business.
Copy !req
178. You know something?
You're not nice.
Copy !req
179. That one hurt. So long, milkmaids.
Copy !req
180. No, wait!
Copy !req
181. Just watch me pitch. Dottie,
get your mitt! I'll throw a few.
Copy !req
182. - I'll show you some pitches...
- No. No, no, no.
Copy !req
183. Now look...
Copy !req
184. I know the goods when I see
the goods, and she's the goods.
Copy !req
185. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
186. Will you shut up?
Copy !req
187. - You're a pitcher, huh?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
188. I'll tell you what.
If she comes, you can come too.
Copy !req
189. If you stink, it'll only cost us
a train ticket.
Copy !req
190. Get these wild animals
away from me!
Copy !req
191. Haven't you ever heard of a leash?
Copy !req
192. Come on, Dottie.
Copy !req
193. You got the whole rest of your life
to hang around here.
Copy !req
194. Never go anywhere. Never do anything.
Copy !req
195. I'm married. I'm happy. It's what
I want. Let's not confuse things.
Copy !req
196. Okay.
Copy !req
197. But can't you just have this first?
Copy !req
198. Just so you can say you once
did something? Something special?
Copy !req
199. Goodness sake, Kit!
Copy !req
200. Keep your voice down.
Your father's listening to the radio.
Copy !req
201. Please, Dottie?
Copy !req
202. I gotta get out of here.
Copy !req
203. I'm nothing here.
Copy !req
204. In the Pacific Northwest,
my territory...
Copy !req
205. we have increased sales 106 percent
in the last 12-month period.
Copy !req
206. And this with a war on!
Copy !req
207. You know, if I had your job,
I'd kill myself.
Copy !req
208. Sit here. I'll see if I can
dig up a pistol.
Copy !req
209. Every trip I take, I gotta sit
next to one of these guys.
Copy !req
210. I'm just too friendly.
Copy !req
211. Hey, isn't that...?
Copy !req
212. - I'm coming!
- Let me in!
Copy !req
213. Stop!
Copy !req
214. Well, I'll say one thing for them.
They can run.
Copy !req
215. Mr. Capadino! I got her! Look!
Copy !req
216. - Sir, your knee.
- Like it?
Copy !req
217. Stop the train!
Copy !req
218. Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
219. Give me that bag!
Copy !req
220. Come on.
Copy !req
221. Come on, here.
Copy !req
222. Did you promise the cows you'd write?
Copy !req
223. When do we get to Chicago?
Copy !req
224. We gotta make a stop.
Fort Collins, Colorado.
Copy !req
225. Gotta look at another girl.
Copy !req
226. Hope you're not jealous.
Copy !req
227. - I'm sorry.
- It's okay, honey. That was good form.
Copy !req
228. Thattagirl!
Copy !req
229. Good, honey. Good, good.
Copy !req
230. Nice, nice. That's a rope, honey.
Copy !req
231. Good girl. Good, good.
Copy !req
232. Right, too high.
Copy !req
233. She's got an eye like DiMaggio.
Copy !req
234. Good. Good, good.
Copy !req
235. Okay, Marla. Now lefty.
Copy !req
236. She's really good.
Copy !req
237. - She's your daughter?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
238. Her mom's dead.
It's just the two of us.
Copy !req
239. Coach said if she was a boy,
she'd go to the state tournament.
Copy !req
240. I said, "If she was a boy, I'd talk to
the Yankees instead of living here."
Copy !req
241. That's enough.
You can bring her over.
Copy !req
242. Okay, Marla. Come here.
Copy !req
243. Boys! Hit the showers!
Copy !req
244. - You did good.
- I threw everything I had.
Copy !req
245. Take off your hat, honey.
Copy !req
246. We'll let you know.
Copy !req
247. Daddy, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
248. Come on, let's go.
We'll miss the train.
Copy !req
249. Let's move, move, move!
Copy !req
250. What's the matter?
Copy !req
251. I can't use her.
Copy !req
252. She's great. Why not?
What's the problem?
Copy !req
253. You know General Omar Bradley?
Copy !req
254. - Yeah.
- There's too strong a resemblance.
Copy !req
255. You ain't taking her
because she ain't pretty?
Copy !req
256. Well, look who just caught up!
Copy !req
257. All right. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
258. Pick those suitcases up! Come on!
Copy !req
259. I'm not kidding. Let's go. Move!
Copy !req
260. - One foot in front of the other.
- Hey, mister?
Copy !req
261. I know my girl ain't so pretty
as these girls.
Copy !req
262. But that's my fault.
Copy !req
263. I raised her like I would a boy.
Copy !req
264. I didn't know any better.
Copy !req
265. She loves to play.
Copy !req
266. Don't make my little girl suffer
because I messed up raising her.
Copy !req
267. Please?
Copy !req
268. - Come on, get on the train.
- I wish you had a decent mitt.
Copy !req
269. I think maybe I'd better not go.
Copy !req
270. No, you can relace it.
Copy !req
271. It'll be okay.
Copy !req
272. No, I mean, who's gonna
take care of you? Cook?
Copy !req
273. Help you take care of the equipment?
Copy !req
274. Don't you worry about me.
Copy !req
275. You're gonna play baseball.
Copy !req
276. I'm not gonna know anybody.
Copy !req
277. Marla.
Copy !req
278. Nothing's ever gonna happen here.
Copy !req
279. You gotta go where things happen.
Copy !req
280. I love you, Daddy.
Copy !req
281. - All aboard!
- Daddy.
Copy !req
282. - Let's go, let's go.
- All aboard.
Copy !req
283. Come on, honey.
Copy !req
284. Are you coming?
Copy !req
285. See, how it works is, the train moves,
not the station.
Copy !req
286. Bye, Daddy.
Copy !req
287. This is making me sick.
Copy !req
288. Write to me, honey.
Copy !req
289. I love you.
Copy !req
290. Goodbye.
Copy !req
291. Hey, cowgirls, see the grass?
Copy !req
292. Don't eat it.
Copy !req
293. Come on.
Copy !req
294. Okay, girls, this is it. Harvey Field.
Copy !req
295. Tryouts. Get out there.
Copy !req
296. Show them what you got.
Don't embarrass me.
Copy !req
297. It's been a thin slice of heaven.
Goodbye.
Copy !req
298. Wait. You're going?
Copy !req
299. Dry your eyes.
Copy !req
300. Yeah, I'm going home.
Grab a shower and a shave.
Copy !req
301. Give the wife a pickle-tickle,
and I'm on my way. I'll see you.
Copy !req
302. - But...
- But what?
Copy !req
303. Field! Tryouts! Play!
Copy !req
304. That's it! Get lost!
Copy !req
305. Come on, guys.
Copy !req
306. I hate when they get
attached to me like that.
Copy !req
307. You've got an arm.
Copy !req
308. - Hey, Mae.
- What?
Copy !req
309. - Come look at this.
- Wait a second, Doris.
Copy !req
310. I can't wait much longer, so get up.
Copy !req
311. Yeah, so?
Copy !req
312. Yeah, so I ain't done yet.
Watch this.
Copy !req
313. - That's it?
- You can't do it, Mae.
Copy !req
314. I could do it. How long you been
working on that, Doris?
Copy !req
315. - That? Took me a year.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
316. Not counting the two months I was in
the hospital. Bat hit me in the head.
Copy !req
317. - Really?
- Yup.
Copy !req
318. Your head and not your behind?
That looks really swollen.
Copy !req
319. - What kind of thing is that to say?
- I'm joking. I'm nervous, all right?
Copy !req
320. I don't...
Copy !req
321. - What are you looking at?
- Yeah, what?
Copy !req
322. Nothing.
Copy !req
323. - Yeah, nothing.
- That's right, nothing.
Copy !req
324. All these girls gonna be in the league?
Copy !req
325. - You wish.
- You do wish.
Copy !req
326. - Four teams. Sixteen girls to a team.
- That's right.
Copy !req
327. Sixty-four girls.
Copy !req
328. Yeah. What are you, a genius?
Copy !req
329. They got over 100 girls here,
so some of youse will have to go home.
Copy !req
330. - Yeah, sorry about that.
- Come on, Doris.
Copy !req
331. - What do you mean, "some of us"?
- Do it.
Copy !req
332. - Okay, some of them are going home.
- Hey. How did you do that?
Copy !req
333. Excuse me. Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
334. - You caught that. Hello?
- Doris.
Copy !req
335. Did you see? Jeez. Let's go practice.
Copy !req
336. - She caught it with her bare hand.
- Okay, okay. Be quiet.
Copy !req
337. And now, from Chicago,
The Mutual presents...
Copy !req
338. another social commentary
by Miss Maida Gilespie.
Copy !req
339. Careers and higher education...
Copy !req
340. are leading to
the masculinization of women...
Copy !req
341. with enormously dangerous
consequences...
Copy !req
342. to the home, the children
and our country.
Copy !req
343. When our boys come home from war...
Copy !req
344. what kind of girls will they
be coming home to?
Copy !req
345. And now, the most
disgusting example...
Copy !req
346. of this sexual confusion,
Mr. Walter Harvey, of Harvey Bars...
Copy !req
347. is presenting us
with women's baseball.
Copy !req
348. Right here in Chicago, young girls
plucked from their families...
Copy !req
349. are gathered at Harvey Field...
Copy !req
350. to see which one of them
can be the most masculine.
Copy !req
351. Mr. Harvey, like your candy bars,
you are completely nuts.
Copy !req
352. Come on, come on, come on.
Copy !req
353. Heads up, heads up.
Copy !req
354. Very good. Try another.
Copy !req
355. Nice throw!
Copy !req
356. Come on!
Copy !req
357. Your name will be on
one of those five lists.
Copy !req
358. Okay, find your name.
Copy !req
359. If we could just form
two or three parallel lines...
Copy !req
360. Yeah!
Copy !req
361. Yes!
Copy !req
362. I'm a Peach!
Copy !req
363. - What?
- A Rockford Peach!
Copy !req
364. I made it! I can stay!
Copy !req
365. Are you a newspaper guy? This is
my friend Mae. She made the team.
Copy !req
366. Hi. Pleased to meet you, Mae.
Copy !req
367. Okay, come on, we got a lot to do.
Let's settle down.
Copy !req
368. Now, you're the first...
Copy !req
369. Honey, are you supposed to be here,
or are you on the cut list?
Copy !req
370. Look, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
371. If you're on the cut list,
you have to leave the field.
Copy !req
372. Well, are you cut?
Copy !req
373. Look on the list. It's either Rockford,
Racine, Kenosha or South Bend.
Copy !req
374. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
375. Can you read, honey?
Copy !req
376. No.
Copy !req
377. All right, what's your name?
Copy !req
378. - Shirley Baker.
- Shirley Baker.
Copy !req
379. Shirley Baker. Let's just take a look.
Copy !req
380. This is you.
Copy !req
381. You're with us.
You're a Rockford Peach.
Copy !req
382. Go join your team.
Copy !req
383. Okay, ladies.
Copy !req
384. Let's settle down.
We got a lot to go over.
Copy !req
385. First, congratulations.
Copy !req
386. You are the first members...
Copy !req
387. of the All-American
Girls' Baseball League.
Copy !req
388. I'm Charlie Collins.
Copy !req
389. I'll be managing the Racine team
when the season starts.
Copy !req
390. The other teams will have
managers soon.
Copy !req
391. At the end of practice today...
Copy !req
392. y'all will have to get fitted
for your uniforms.
Copy !req
393. And this is what they're gonna look
like. Pretty darn nifty, if you ask me.
Copy !req
394. You can't slide in that.
Copy !req
395. - Hey, that's a dress.
- It's half a dress.
Copy !req
396. That's not a baseball uniform.
Copy !req
397. What do you think we are,
ballplayers or ballerinas?
Copy !req
398. It's awfully short.
Copy !req
399. Short? I'm gonna have to squat
in that thing.
Copy !req
400. I can't wear that.
My husband will kill me.
Copy !req
401. - Ladies! Ladies!
- Excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
402. Excuse me.
Copy !req
403. If you can't play ball in this,
you can't play ball with us.
Copy !req
404. There are 38 girls
getting train tickets home...
Copy !req
405. who'll play in a bathing suit
if I ask them.
Copy !req
406. There's no pockets for my cigarettes.
Copy !req
407. There is no smoking.
Copy !req
408. There is also no drinking
and no men.
Copy !req
409. Your social engagements will be cleared
through your team chaperones.
Copy !req
410. Plus each of you will have regular
classes at charm and beauty school.
Copy !req
411. - For what?
- Every girl in this league will be a lady.
Copy !req
412. And gracefully and grandly.
Copy !req
413. Gracefully and grandly.
Copy !req
414. Gracefully and grandly.
Copy !req
415. All right, girls, now go back!
Copy !req
416. And sip.
Copy !req
417. Down. Don't slurp.
Copy !req
418. Sip.
Copy !req
419. Down. Don't slurp.
Copy !req
420. Sip.
Copy !req
421. Down. Don't slurp.
Copy !req
422. Sip.
Copy !req
423. - Stop that!
- Why?
Copy !req
424. It's good.
Copy !req
425. Posture.
Copy !req
426. Heads up.
Copy !req
427. Backs straight.
Copy !req
428. And sit.
Copy !req
429. Right over left.
Legs always together.
Copy !req
430. A lady reveals nothing.
Copy !req
431. Stop it.
Copy !req
432. And...
Copy !req
433. The hair. Soften and shorten.
Copy !req
434. The eyebrows. Thin and separate.
There should be two.
Copy !req
435. Very nice.
Copy !req
436. Very nice!
Copy !req
437. Lovely!
Copy !req
438. What do you suggest?
Copy !req
439. A lot of night games.
Copy !req
440. Come on, I wanna show you
the grounds. You know, I always...
Copy !req
441. Jimmy, come on.
Copy !req
442. I'm showing you around.
Beautiful, huh?
Copy !req
443. Place used to be a golf course.
Copy !req
444. I never cared for the game myself,
but I love grass.
Copy !req
445. It costs a fortune to keep like this,
with the mowing and trimming.
Copy !req
446. But I grew up in an apartment.
I had one lousy plant in a cheese box.
Copy !req
447. Now look. I got a park.
Copy !req
448. These are my in-laws. Hello!
Copy !req
449. They can't hear nothing.
Enough socializing.
Copy !req
450. Jimmy, I'm thinking of giving you
another managing job.
Copy !req
451. Oh, well, Mr. Harvey...
Copy !req
452. I guarantee I'll do a better job
than last time.
Copy !req
453. You kind of let me down
on that San Antonio job.
Copy !req
454. Yeah, yeah. I had no right to sell off
the team's equipment like that.
Copy !req
455. - That won't happen again.
- Let me be blunt.
Copy !req
456. Are you still a fall-down drunk?
Copy !req
457. Well, that is blunt.
Copy !req
458. No, sir. I've quit drinking.
Copy !req
459. You've seen the error of your ways?
Copy !req
460. No, I just can't afford it.
Copy !req
461. That's funny to you?
Copy !req
462. Your drinking is funny?
Copy !req
463. You're a young man, Jimmy.
Copy !req
464. You still could be playing...
Copy !req
465. if you just would've laid off
the booze.
Copy !req
466. Well, it's not exactly like that.
Copy !req
467. I hurt my knee.
Copy !req
468. You fell out of a hotel.
That's how you hurt it!
Copy !req
469. There was a fire.
Copy !req
470. Which you started,
which I had to pay for.
Copy !req
471. I was gonna send you...
Copy !req
472. a thank-you card, but I wasn't
allowed anything sharp to write with.
Copy !req
473. Look, Jimmy, I want you to manage
one of the new girls' baseball teams.
Copy !req
474. Don't look so stunned. Face it.
Copy !req
475. You're still a name. You step
out of the dugout before every game.
Copy !req
476. You wave your little hat.
You give the people a thrill.
Copy !req
477. Why not get an organ grinder?
I can hop around and dance.
Copy !req
478. If your knees are up to it,
go ahead.
Copy !req
479. Mr. Harvey...
Copy !req
480. I hit 487 home runs
for your baseball club.
Copy !req
481. Three in the World Series,
two in Game 4 alone.
Copy !req
482. I know that.
Copy !req
483. That's why I'm giving you this job.
Copy !req
484. Take it or leave it.
Copy !req
485. I gotta feed the fish.
Copy !req
486. Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the first game...
Copy !req
487. of the All-American
Girls' Baseball League.
Copy !req
488. The South Bend Blue Sox
against your own Rockford Peaches.
Copy !req
489. - Where is he? It's game time.
- I can't believe he's our manager.
Copy !req
490. I was listening to the radio when he hit
that home run to win the pennant.
Copy !req
491. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
492. I'll get him to sign
my husband's baseball card.
Copy !req
493. Do you mind?
Could I take a look at that?
Copy !req
494. All right, but just be careful.
Copy !req
495. If anything happens to that, George'll
come back from the Pacific and kill me.
Copy !req
496. - Mr. Dugan...
- Mr. Dugan, I'm simply...
Copy !req
497. Hi.
Copy !req
498. - Get down from there.
- I can't believe he's doing that.
Copy !req
499. - Do something, Mae.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
500. - Time him at least.
- Give me your watch.
Copy !req
501. Could be a record.
Copy !req
502. That counts.
Copy !req
503. How long?
Copy !req
504. I ain't gonna ask you again.
Copy !req
505. Shut up, Doris.
Copy !req
506. Keep timing.
Copy !req
507. - Hey. Hey. Hey, Mae, how long?
- Doris.
Copy !req
508. Boy, that was some good peeing.
Copy !req
509. Hey, coach.
Copy !req
510. Mr. Dugan? Could you sign
my husband's baseball card for me?
Copy !req
511. Hey, great to meet you!
Copy !req
512. What'll we do?
He didn't give us a lineup.
Copy !req
513. - We can't play without a lineup.
- I'll pitch. I can pitch.
Copy !req
514. - I thought I was playing center field.
- No, I would like center field.
Copy !req
515. Hey, hey. Hey, you guys. Come on.
Copy !req
516. How hard can it be to make a lineup?
Copy !req
517. Oh, yeah?
Why don't you do it, Oregon?
Copy !req
518. - Me?
- Yeah, you.
Copy !req
519. All right.
Mae, center field, lead off.
Copy !req
520. She's good.
Copy !req
521. And now, the manager of the Peaches...
Copy !req
522. former six-time
National League home run champ...
Copy !req
523. Jimmy Dugan!
Copy !req
524. Yeah, Dugan! Dugan!
Copy !req
525. Hey, Jimmy, look up here!
We love you!
Copy !req
526. Bullshit. You can all kiss my ass.
That's right.
Copy !req
527. Kiss my big hairy ass.
Copy !req
528. You're the best, Jimmy!
Copy !req
529. And the Rockford Peaches!
Copy !req
530. Doris Murphy takes the field!
Copy !req
531. Hey, lift up your skirt!
Copy !req
532. This should be something.
Copy !req
533. Ain't too many people here.
Copy !req
534. - You nervous, Doris?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
535. I ain't.
Copy !req
536. - Are they laughing at us?
- Yeah, they're laughing at us.
Copy !req
537. What makes you think
you can play baseball?
Copy !req
538. - They hate us.
- Just keep smiling.
Copy !req
539. Hey, glamour puss!
Can you throw the ball?
Copy !req
540. All right, ladies, let's play ball!
Copy !req
541. - Let's play ball.
- Dirt in the skirt!
Copy !req
542. - Let's go.
- And now, the lineup for Rockford:
Copy !req
543. Leading off and playing center field...
Copy !req
544. - number 5, Mae Mordabito.
- Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
545. Batting second and playing third base,
number 22, Doris Murphy.
Copy !req
546. Batting third, the catcher,
number 8, Dottie Hinson.
Copy !req
547. Batting fourth and playing second base,
number 32, Marla Hooch.
Copy !req
548. Girls can't play ball!
Copy !req
549. - Batting fifth and playing left field...
- Look at me! I'm a ballplayer!
Copy !req
550. - Get a load of that.
- Hey, girls, look at these legs!
Copy !req
551. Better look out,
I might break a nail!
Copy !req
552. Number 1, Ellen Sue Gotlander.
Copy !req
553. - number 17, Evelyn Gardner.
- Good throw. You nailed him! All right?
Copy !req
554. - It slipped.
- Batting ninth, pitcher...
Copy !req
555. - number 23, Kit Keller!
- Fresh roasted peanuts!
Copy !req
556. Get your peanuts!
Copy !req
557. Count's 2 balls and no strikes to
Rockford's big catcher, Dottie Hinson.
Copy !req
558. And it's in the dirt. 3 and 0.
Copy !req
559. Let's see if Jimmy Dugan gives her
the green light on 3 and 0...
Copy !req
560. or gives her the take sign.
Copy !req
561. Game's tied 2-2,
the bottom of the 9th...
Copy !req
562. with two runners in scoring position
and only 1 out.
Copy !req
563. From the belt, here's the delivery.
Copy !req
564. Oh, baby! She hit the cream cheese
out of that one!
Copy !req
565. Jimmy Dugan, master strategist,
had her swinging away!
Copy !req
566. Boy, he sure knows his baseball.
Copy !req
567. Come on, Dottie!
Copy !req
568. Come on, make me proud!
Copy !req
569. A 3-run clout for Dottie Hinson...
Copy !req
570. and Rockford wins it, 5 to 2.
Copy !req
571. - Hey!
- All right, Dottie!
Copy !req
572. That's the way to play!
Copy !req
573. Dottie, ladies and gentlemen! Dottie!
Copy !req
574. I couldn't believe you hit it
right out there!
Copy !req
575. - Jimmy, can we have your autograph?
- Can we have your autograph?
Copy !req
576. - Jimmy, please?
- Not today, boys.
Copy !req
577. Come back next game.
Copy !req
578. Nice piece of coaching, Jimmy.
Copy !req
579. Especially in the 5th inning when you
scratched your balls for an hour.
Copy !req
580. Yeah, well, anything worth doing
is worth doing right.
Copy !req
581. Yes, indeed.
Copy !req
582. Until you did that, I couldn't tell
if you were drunk or dead.
Copy !req
583. It was made very clear to me
what I'm supposed to do here.
Copy !req
584. I smile...
Copy !req
585. wave my little hat, and I did that.
So when do I get paid?
Copy !req
586. You have some good ballplayers.
If you'll only give them...
Copy !req
587. Ballplayers!
Copy !req
588. I haven't got ballplayers!
I've got girls!
Copy !req
589. Girls are what you sleep with after
the game, not what you coach during it.
Copy !req
590. If we paid you more, could you be
just a little more disgusting?
Copy !req
591. Well, I could certainly use the money.
Copy !req
592. On the home front...
Copy !req
593. they find them everywhere...
Copy !req
594. North, East, South and West,
and even Canada:
Copy !req
595. Players for the new
All-American Girls' Baseball League.
Copy !req
596. After a month of league play...
Copy !req
597. the shine still isn't off
these Diamond Gals.
Copy !req
598. Alice "Skeeter" Gaspers says:
Copy !req
599. "Legging out a triple is no reason
to let your nose get shiny."
Copy !req
600. Betty Grable has nothing
on these gals.
Copy !req
601. Helen Haley has not only been on
several championship amateur teams...
Copy !req
602. she's also an accomplished
coffeemaker.
Copy !req
603. Coffee.
Copy !req
604. With her husband in the Pacific...
Copy !req
605. Betty Horn enjoys
cooking spaghetti and knitting.
Copy !req
606. Her teammates call her
"Betty Spaghetti."
Copy !req
607. Ellen Sue Gotlander is
a former Miss Georgia.
Copy !req
608. Then there's pretty Dottie Hinson...
Copy !req
609. who plays like Gehrig
and looks like Garbo.
Copy !req
610. Fellas, keep your mitts to yourself.
She's married.
Copy !req
611. And there's her kid sister Kit,
who's as single as they come.
Copy !req
612. Enough concentrated "oomph" for
a whole carload of Hollywood starlets.
Copy !req
613. And how about Marla Hooch?
Copy !req
614. What a hitter!
Copy !req
615. What a league!
Copy !req
616. - But girls playing baseball?
- She's out!
Copy !req
617. She's out!
Copy !req
618. Yeah!
Copy !req
619. Game ball!
Copy !req
620. That's good work.
Copy !req
621. She can hit that ball.
Copy !req
622. - Enjoy that?
- Yeah!
Copy !req
623. - Good. Come back next game, will you?
- Good hitting. Good hitting. Take care.
Copy !req
624. - Take care.
- Mr. Dugan?
Copy !req
625. I'm Evelyn Gardner.
Copy !req
626. Yeah. I play right field.
Copy !req
627. For us.
Copy !req
628. I see...
Copy !req
629. I just spoke to my husband last night.
Copy !req
630. He says I can't leave our son
with him at home anymore.
Copy !req
631. See, he says he's too busy
reading the want ads...
Copy !req
632. and... And...
Copy !req
633. I should just take him with me
and shut up about it. So can I?
Copy !req
634. Take my son with me on road trips?
Copy !req
635. Ballplayers...
Copy !req
636. Well, he's the sweetest little boy.
Copy !req
637. Everyone's just gonna love him.
Copy !req
638. What's going on? Hey!
Copy !req
639. Get this brat off of me!
Copy !req
640. - Oh, thank God.
- Are you all right?
Copy !req
641. That's it! I quit!
Copy !req
642. - Stilwell, come to Mommy.
- That kid is trouble.
Copy !req
643. - You're too young to drive.
- I will. Watch.
Copy !req
644. Evelyn. Evelyn!
Copy !req
645. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to
kill your son!
Copy !req
646. No, Mae! Mae!
Copy !req
647. Wait! The girls have a game!
Copy !req
648. You can't leave like this!
Please, Mr. Goosatelli!
Copy !req
649. Get over here, Stilwell!
I'm gonna kill you!
Copy !req
650. - Mae!
- You can't catch me!
Copy !req
651. Don't use my bat, use Marla's!
It's heavier!
Copy !req
652. - Evelyn, why is he so wild?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
653. Stilwell, angel,
have another chocolate bar.
Copy !req
654. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Copy !req
655. You can't. You can't leave us like this.
We're in the middle of nowhere!
Copy !req
656. - We can't be here! Please!
- No!
Copy !req
657. No.
Copy !req
658. Keep him away from me.
Copy !req
659. He's really a sweetie, Dottie.
Copy !req
660. - I hope I have five just like him.
- Don't eat the wrapper, honey.
Copy !req
661. Dottie.
Copy !req
662. - You gonna come with us?
- Where you going?
Copy !req
663. A roadhouse called the Suds Bucket.
Copy !req
664. No, you know, I'm married. I'm...
Copy !req
665. Come on, Dottie, you ain't on the farm
anymore. Live a little bit.
Copy !req
666. Girls! Girls! Please!
Copy !req
667. Mr. Goosatelli shan't be returning.
Copy !req
668. How are you gonna
get past Miss Cuthbert?
Copy !req
669. - Mae's gonna poison her dinner.
- What?
Copy !req
670. Mr. Dugan.
Copy !req
671. Mr. Dugan.
Copy !req
672. - Mr. Dugan!
- What is it, baby?
Copy !req
673. What the hell is going on?
Copy !req
674. - Why are we stopped?
- Lou quit.
Copy !req
675. Who's Lou?
Copy !req
676. The driver.
Copy !req
677. A car could've came by now.
Copy !req
678. - Come on, you girls!
- What?
Copy !req
679. - Get on the bus!
- What did he say? Was that English?
Copy !req
680. I loved you in The Wizard of Oz.
Copy !req
681. Hey, who's in my seat?
Copy !req
682. In the 43 years I've practiced medicine,
never saw a woman throw up that much.
Copy !req
683. Maybe that's how
she entertains herself, doc.
Copy !req
684. Oh, yes, yeah. There we go.
Good, good.
Copy !req
685. Hurry, come on.
Copy !req
686. Quiet.
Copy !req
687. - Mae, what did you give her?
- Oh, now, what a shame.
Copy !req
688. - Who cares? It's working.
- I wouldn't wear those shoes again.
Copy !req
689. I'm going, baby!
Copy !req
690. Come on, way to go, Mae!
Copy !req
691. I'm coming in, Mae!
Copy !req
692. - Come on, doll.
- God.
Copy !req
693. Catch me!
Copy !req
694. Did you see me, Kit? I pretzeled!
Copy !req
695. Doris. Look how Mae is...
Copy !req
696. - How did you learn how to do that?
- She taught me.
Copy !req
697. My father owns a dance hall, upstate.
Vinnie's Dance Girls Deluxe.
Copy !req
698. She was one of the dancers,
I was a bouncer.
Copy !req
699. All right, let's go.
Copy !req
700. You were great!
Copy !req
701. - Thanks for the ride, kid.
- What's your rush, dollbody?
Copy !req
702. What do you say we slip in the back seat
and you make a man out of me?
Copy !req
703. What do you say I smack you around
for a while?
Copy !req
704. Can't we do both?
Copy !req
705. - I'm not hot. It's fine.
- That's the one I like right there.
Copy !req
706. It's really cold.
Copy !req
707. - That's better.
- Where's Kit? Hi.
Copy !req
708. I think she's on the dance floor.
There she is.
Copy !req
709. I got my truck parked outside.
Copy !req
710. Kit. Hey.
Copy !req
711. Sorry, we gotta go. Come on.
Alice, come on.
Copy !req
712. Guys, we gotta go. We got trouble.
Copy !req
713. - I knew it. You killed Miss Cuthbert.
- We'll bury her. I know a guy...
Copy !req
714. It's Lowenstein. He's on his way.
He catches us, we're out of the league.
Copy !req
715. Let's make like a bread truck
and haul buns, ladies.
Copy !req
716. - See you, Mae.
- Let's duck out the back door.
Copy !req
717. Is this all of you? Marla didn't come?
Copy !req
718. She came.
Copy !req
719. Yeah, well, where is she?
Copy !req
720. There.
Copy !req
721. - What did you do to her?
- Nothing, we just gave her a dress.
Copy !req
722. And a lot of liquor.
Copy !req
723. That's right. You gave her liquor.
I'm saying...
Copy !req
724. All right, you guys go ahead.
I'll get Marla.
Copy !req
725. Hurry up.
Copy !req
726. - Dottie.
- Hurry up, ladies!
Copy !req
727. Thanks.
Copy !req
728. Marla?
Copy !req
729. Marla?
Copy !req
730. Marla, honey? We gotta go.
Come on.
Copy !req
731. I'm singing to Nelson! Ain't I, baby?
Copy !req
732. You sure are.
Copy !req
733. - Marla, come on.
- No!
Copy !req
734. I could take her home.
Copy !req
735. - It'd be an honor.
- Ain't he something?
Copy !req
736. That's the second time he dropped
that Bible since she's been in there.
Copy !req
737. Come on, girls.
Copy !req
738. - Mae, what'd you say?
- Everything.
Copy !req
739. "Here's a good job for you, Jimmy.
Copy !req
740. Managing girl ballplayers.
Copy !req
741. You just go out there and you wave
your little hat around.
Copy !req
742. Don't drink!"
Copy !req
743. Why would I want to drink?
I'm a goddamn Peach!
Copy !req
744. Double play.
Now I'm hitting like a girl.
Copy !req
745. "But be nice to them.
They're good ballplayers."
Copy !req
746. There, catch that, blondie!
Copy !req
747. Now batting for the Rockford Peaches...
Copy !req
748. number 5, center fielder...
Copy !req
749. - Mae Mordabito!
- Come on, no hitter, no hitter.
Copy !req
750. Here's the pitch.
Copy !req
751. There's a shot into right center!
Copy !req
752. It's up the alley!
Copy !req
753. - Go to third!
- Turning around first! Digging up dirt!
Copy !req
754. She's heading past second.
Copy !req
755. - Go to third!
- Heading into third!
Copy !req
756. Dirt in the skirt, Mae!
Dirt in the skirt!
Copy !req
757. - Safe!
- In there with a triple!
Copy !req
758. Time.
Copy !req
759. Boy, did she smack that one
right on the kisser.
Copy !req
760. No wonder they call her
"All-the-Way" Mae.
Copy !req
761. Triple.
Copy !req
762. Next batter...
Copy !req
763. number 32, second baseman,
Marla Hooch. Hooch.
Copy !req
764. Evelyn, look at this!
I've got Stilwell's snack on my cleat!
Copy !req
765. Marla!
Copy !req
766. - What's the signal?
- Keep your eye on it, Marla.
Copy !req
767. What are you, stupid?
Copy !req
768. Somebody's gotta run the team.
Copy !req
769. Someone who actually watches
the games.
Copy !req
770. You're gonna squeeze bunt
with our best hitter?
Copy !req
771. What's the sign to swing away?
Copy !req
772. Hey, blond girl! What's the sign?
Copy !req
773. It's the letters. A squeeze'll work.
Copy !req
774. Stop thinking with your tits,
you want a big inning. Batter!
Copy !req
775. Time!
Copy !req
776. Come on!
Copy !req
777. Hey, who is the goddamn manager
here? I am!
Copy !req
778. Then act like it, you big lush!
Copy !req
779. - You tell him, Dottie!
- About time someone told him.
Copy !req
780. - I'm ready now.
- Play ball!
Copy !req
781. Oh, goody.
Copy !req
782. Show her something.
Put it by her.
Copy !req
783. Way to go, whatever your name is!
Copy !req
784. Good bluff!
Copy !req
785. But I still say you're not ballplayers.
Copy !req
786. Cemetery boneyard! Cross your fingers
or you'll never get another hit.
Copy !req
787. Sound it out.
Copy !req
788. Kimono.
Copy !req
789. Kimono off and...
Copy !req
790. gra-bed...
Copy !req
791. Grabbed.
Copy !req
792. her...
Copy !req
793. milky... Milky...
Copy !req
794. white... Milky white...
Copy !req
795. What are you giving her to read?
Copy !req
796. What's the difference?
She's reading.
Copy !req
797. That's the important thing.
Now go away! Go! Shoo!
Copy !req
798. - Go ahead, Shirley. You're doing good.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
799. Okay.
Copy !req
800. Milky...
Copy !req
801. white...
Copy !req
802. breasts.
Copy !req
803. It gets really good after that. Look.
Copy !req
804. - A delivery boy walks in.
- What you doing?
Copy !req
805. Oh, I'm writing a song.
Copy !req
806. - Really? What's it about?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
807. About us.
Copy !req
808. Could you teach it to me?
Copy !req
809. - Doris, is this your boyfriend?
- Yup.
Copy !req
810. - Is it out of focus?
- No, that's how he looks.
Copy !req
811. Looks aren't the most important thing.
Copy !req
812. Right. The important thing is he's
stupid, out of work and treats me bad.
Copy !req
813. Then why?
Copy !req
814. Why? What do you think? Because...
Copy !req
815. none of the other boys ever...
Copy !req
816. Always made me feel like I was wrong,
you know?
Copy !req
817. Like I was some sort of a weird girl
or a strange girl...
Copy !req
818. or not even a girl,
just because I could play.
Copy !req
819. I believed them too.
But not anymore, you know?
Copy !req
820. I mean, look. There's a lot of us.
Copy !req
821. I think we're all all right.
Copy !req
822. We are.
Copy !req
823. Hey, give me that.
Copy !req
824. So long, Charlie!
Copy !req
825. So with two runs in the 6th,
South Bend gets even.
Copy !req
826. - I've gotta go! I've gotta go!
- We'll get it back.
Copy !req
827. You shake it off. Shake it off.
Copy !req
828. Say, Evelyn, can I ask you a question?
You got a moment?
Copy !req
829. Which team do you play for?
Copy !req
830. - Well, I'm a Peach.
- Well, I was just wondering...
Copy !req
831. because I couldn't figure out why
you'd throw home...
Copy !req
832. when we've got a 2-run lead!
Copy !req
833. You let the tying run get on second,
and we lost the lead!
Copy !req
834. You start using your head!
Copy !req
835. That's that lump that's three feet
above your ass!
Copy !req
836. Are you crying?
Copy !req
837. - No.
- Are you crying?
Copy !req
838. Are you crying?
Copy !req
839. There's no crying!
Copy !req
840. There's no crying in baseball!
Copy !req
841. - Why don't you leave her alone?
- Oh, you zip it, Doris!
Copy !req
842. Rogers Hornsby, my manager,
called me a "talking pile of pig shit"!
Copy !req
843. That was when my parents came
from Michigan...
Copy !req
844. - to see me play the game! Did I cry?
- No, no.
Copy !req
845. - No! No! Do you know why?
- No.
Copy !req
846. Because there's no crying in baseball.
There's no crying in baseball!
Copy !req
847. No crying!
Copy !req
848. - What's the matter, Jimmy?
- She's crying, sir.
Copy !req
849. I didn't mean to do that.
Copy !req
850. Perhaps you chastised her
too vehemently.
Copy !req
851. Good rule of thumb: Treat each of
these girls as you would your mother.
Copy !req
852. Anyone ever tell you you look like
a penis with a hat on?
Copy !req
853. You're out of here!
Copy !req
854. - I heard that!
- You misunderstood.
Copy !req
855. - Ten seconds!
- You misunderstood!
Copy !req
856. You can't throw me out
knowing you've got a strike zone...
Copy !req
857. Off this field!
Copy !req
858. - Get in that dugout! Get off this field!
- You're out.
Copy !req
859. I can't believe no one ever
called you that before!
Copy !req
860. That's where you belong.
I'm in charge now.
Copy !req
861. All right, who's up here? Who's up?
Copy !req
862. The crowd's light today,
what with the tractor show in town.
Copy !req
863. If you're nearby, and you must be, since
this isn't a powerful radio station...
Copy !req
864. come on down to the ballpark
and bring the kiddies.
Copy !req
865. People better start showing up.
Copy !req
866. We don't have fans,
we don't have a league.
Copy !req
867. - Ladies, you all look wonderful.
- Mr. Lowenstein.
Copy !req
868. - Hello.
- Hi.
Copy !req
869. There's a reporter and a photographer
in the stands from LIFE magazine.
Copy !req
870. - We're famous!
- LIFE magazine?
Copy !req
871. Don't waste your time, Doris.
Copy !req
872. - We get that in Saskatchewan.
- Dottie...
Copy !req
873. I'm trying to get them to do
a story about you.
Copy !req
874. Me? Why me?
Copy !req
875. You're the "Queen of Diamonds."
That's what I'm calling you.
Copy !req
876. Did you tell them about me?
Copy !req
877. I told them how at first,
the scout didn't even want you...
Copy !req
878. but how Dottie wouldn't come
without her kid sister.
Copy !req
879. They loved it. They really loved it.
Copy !req
880. A real human-interest story.
Copy !req
881. So will you just try to give them
something spectacular out there?
Copy !req
882. Anything.
Copy !req
883. Why, what's the matter?
Copy !req
884. Well, Mae, we're not doing so well.
Copy !req
885. Harvey and the other owners
think they've made a mistake.
Copy !req
886. They're talking about
closing you down.
Copy !req
887. - What?
- What are you talking about?
Copy !req
888. They can't close us down here.
Copy !req
889. - What kind of a thing is that?
- What's it mean?
Copy !req
890. They're businessmen.
No profit, no product.
Copy !req
891. And what am I supposed to do, huh?
Copy !req
892. Go back to taxi dancing?
Copy !req
893. Ten cents so some slob
can sweat gin all over me?
Copy !req
894. I'm never doing that again.
Copy !req
895. So you tell old rich Mr. Chocolate Man
that he ain't closing me down!
Copy !req
896. They can't keep us from playing!
Copy !req
897. We'll show them how we play.
Copy !req
898. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
I am trying my best.
Copy !req
899. So will you just give them
everything you've got?
Copy !req
900. We always do.
Copy !req
901. A slick play by Alice Gaspers
and there's 2 gone...
Copy !req
902. here in the 3rd.
That'll bring up Dee Lynch.
Copy !req
903. Lynch is the most consistent
Belles hitter this year.
Copy !req
904. - Okay, burn it in.
- Settles in.
Copy !req
905. Pops it up! Foul.
Copy !req
906. Hinson should have
no trouble with this.
Copy !req
907. She's under it.
Copy !req
908. - Out!
- Uncle Elmore's socks!
Copy !req
909. What did she do?
Copy !req
910. - I can't do that.
- Who can?
Copy !req
911. - What is her name?
- Dottie Hinson. D-O-T-T-I-E...
Copy !req
912. - Good play.
- What the hell was that?
Copy !req
913. I just thought it might
help the league.
Copy !req
914. I'm in a goddamn circus!
Copy !req
915. A triple. A double would be nice...
Copy !req
916. All right!
Copy !req
917. God knows we have a game.
Copy !req
918. It's not like any of this helps,
believe me.
Copy !req
919. Safe!
Copy !req
920. That was really nice!
Copy !req
921. All right, all right. Let's go, girls.
Copy !req
922. Dozens of people are waiting
for the game to start.
Copy !req
923. Yeah!
Copy !req
924. Batter!
Copy !req
925. What is her name?
Hey you, tall girl!
Copy !req
926. - Beverly.
- Beverly!
Copy !req
927. Look sharp, tall...
What is her name again?
Copy !req
928. - Beverly.
- Beverly. Good. Good.
Copy !req
929. Yeah! Five bucks! Five bucks!
Copy !req
930. What if, at a key moment in the game,
my uniform bursts open...
Copy !req
931. and my bosoms come flying out?
Copy !req
932. That might draw a crowd, right?
Copy !req
933. Think there's men
who ain't seen your bosoms?
Copy !req
934. Thank you.
Copy !req
935. - Marla, what you got?
- What about me?
Copy !req
936. I got a letter from Nelson!
Copy !req
937. Fly ball as Dottie Hinson brings...
Copy !req
938. the crowd to its feet
with a home run!
Copy !req
939. - Twenty-two!
- Twenty-two!
Copy !req
940. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
941. - We love you, 22!
- Hey.
Copy !req
942. - Come on!
- Open your mouth!
Copy !req
943. - Evelyn.
- Kid! Kid! The kid ate the lineup!
Copy !req
944. Right here.
Copy !req
945. I'm so happy! Thank you.
Copy !req
946. Thanks so much. Thanks.
Copy !req
947. Thanks. Thank you.
Copy !req
948. - I love you.
- I'm so happy.
Copy !req
949. - I'll be back next season.
- Marla.
Copy !req
950. - See you next season!
- Bye, Marla.
Copy !req
951. Bye. Bye!
Copy !req
952. Slide! Slide!
Copy !req
953. Safe!
Copy !req
954. Thank you!
Copy !req
955. Let it up. Let it up.
Copy !req
956. And...
Copy !req
957. That was a good one.
Copy !req
958. - There's a fly ball to left!
- Get under it!
Copy !req
959. Betty Spaghetti makes the catch!
Copy !req
960. Brock tags up. Spaghetti makes
the throw! It's gonna be close!
Copy !req
961. And...
Copy !req
962. - Aunt Edna's bridgework! She is out!
- Out!
Copy !req
963. Dottie Hinson held onto the ball!
Copy !req
964. Oh, doctor!
Copy !req
965. A lot of ballplayers use it.
Copy !req
966. Out!
Copy !req
967. High foul pop.
Copy !req
968. It's coming back! Coming back!
Copy !req
969. She caught it! Unbelievable!
Copy !req
970. Full house on its feet
cheering Dottie Hinson!
Copy !req
971. - That sounded good.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
972. - You haven't got a curve ball left.
- I don't?
Copy !req
973. - You haven't had a curve ball since...
- Have you been watching?
Copy !req
974. Safe!
Copy !req
975. Safe!
Copy !req
976. Okay.
Copy !req
977. He's good-looking.
Copy !req
978. - What's he do when not in the Army?
- Dairy assistant manager.
Copy !req
979. He's gonna be manager someday.
He's real smart.
Copy !req
980. So he's good-looking and smart.
Copy !req
981. There's so few of us.
Copy !req
982. Where did you say he was again?
Italy?
Copy !req
983. Yeah, I think. I haven't got a letter
from him in three weeks.
Copy !req
984. I used to get one every week.
Copy !req
985. Well, that doesn't mean anything.
Copy !req
986. If he's in combat, it's not like there's
a mailbox on every corner.
Copy !req
987. Besides, if something happened,
you would've got a telegram.
Copy !req
988. - Oh, God, don't...
- But he's fine. No, he's fine.
Copy !req
989. How come you're not in the Army?
Copy !req
990. I have no cartilage...
Copy !req
991. in my knee. Not that you
need cartilage to shoot Nazis.
Copy !req
992. You need this, right? Trigger finger.
I could do that.
Copy !req
993. Right.
Copy !req
994. How did I get so useless so fast?
Copy !req
995. - Boys really like this on your fingers?
- It works for me.
Copy !req
996. Your sister's not gonna be mad?
Copy !req
997. I don't care.
Copy !req
998. Listen, when...
Copy !req
999. - Bob.
- Bob comes back...
Copy !req
1000. - are you gonna keep playing?
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
1001. - You could just quit like that?
- Sure.
Copy !req
1002. You play like you love it.
Copy !req
1003. No. No.
Copy !req
1004. - Does he know how good you are?
- Bob?
Copy !req
1005. No, Hitler. Yes, Bob.
Copy !req
1006. How good am I?
Copy !req
1007. You stink.
Copy !req
1008. You're lousy.
Copy !req
1009. You're only the best player
in the league. You don't know that?
Copy !req
1010. Well...
Copy !req
1011. You ever been married?
Copy !req
1012. Well, let me think. Yeah, twice.
Copy !req
1013. Any children?
Copy !req
1014. One of them was, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
1015. - Is she out?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1016. Well, I think it's time for a drink.
Copy !req
1017. Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Copy !req
1018. - These really don't mix.
- Here.
Copy !req
1019. - Good, huh?
- Oh, yeah. It's great.
Copy !req
1020. Fair ball!
Copy !req
1021. Time!
Copy !req
1022. Jimmy Dugan pops his head
out of the dugout.
Copy !req
1023. He's on his way to talk to his hurler.
Copy !req
1024. Kit Keller looks mighty tired.
Copy !req
1025. Game's getting pretty exciting.
Copy !req
1026. I'll finish it right here.
Copy !req
1027. I'll strike this turkey out.
Copy !req
1028. Betty's ready to come in.
Copy !req
1029. Come on. I've never been
taken out before.
Copy !req
1030. Ask Dottie.
Copy !req
1031. I really wanna finish this game,
Jimmy. Please?
Copy !req
1032. What do you think?
Copy !req
1033. Well, you know, she's battling.
Copy !req
1034. - What do you think?
- She's done. She's throwing grapefruits.
Copy !req
1035. Blue!
Copy !req
1036. It looks like Keller's coming out of the
game, and she is not happy about it!
Copy !req
1037. Nice job, Kit!
Copy !req
1038. Betty Horn sprints in
from the left-field bullpen.
Copy !req
1039. Look at this crowd. This is great.
They're jumping, hopping, cheering...
Copy !req
1040. and they paid to get in.
Copy !req
1041. You did a fabulous job.
I won't forget this.
Copy !req
1042. Thank you very much, Mr. Harvey.
I appreciate it, coming from you.
Copy !req
1043. But to be perfectly honest, I think
the girls deserve most of the credit.
Copy !req
1044. Oh, they're great.
Copy !req
1045. Fortunately, we won't need
them anymore. Do you want a peanut?
Copy !req
1046. No. What do you mean?
Copy !req
1047. What do you mean, what do I mean?
Copy !req
1048. We're winning the war.
Our situation changed.
Copy !req
1049. Roosevelt himself said,
"Men's baseball won't be shut down."
Copy !req
1050. So we won't need the girls next year.
Copy !req
1051. Bases loaded. Bottom of the 9th.
Rockford up 6 to 2. Two men out.
Copy !req
1052. - No balls, 2 strikes.
- Okay, Betty, right here.
Copy !req
1053. Strike 3!
Copy !req
1054. And that is the ball game!
Rockford is in the playoffs!
Copy !req
1055. I love these girls.
I don't need them, but I love them.
Copy !req
1056. Look at that. Come on. Let's go.
Copy !req
1057. Oh, look at me. I'm full of peanuts!
I've got peanuts all over myself.
Copy !req
1058. This is what it's gonna be like
in the factories too, I suppose.
Copy !req
1059. "Men are back.
Turn in your rivets."
Copy !req
1060. We told them it was their patriotic duty
to get out and go to work.
Copy !req
1061. When the men come back,
they're sent back to the kitchen.
Copy !req
1062. Should we send the boys returning
from war back to the kitchen? Come on.
Copy !req
1063. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1064. Do you know how dedicated they are?
What they go through?
Copy !req
1065. They play with sprained ankles,
broken fingers.
Copy !req
1066. They ride a bus all night to play
a double-header the next morning.
Copy !req
1067. I'll make it up to them.
Copy !req
1068. What? With Harvey Bars?
Copy !req
1069. I'm getting tired of listening
to you, Ira.
Copy !req
1070. I'd like your permission
to take over the league.
Copy !req
1071. What?
Copy !req
1072. Do you understand?
All of the owners are getting out.
Copy !req
1073. There's no point to it anymore.
Copy !req
1074. Just let them finish the season,
and that's it!
Copy !req
1075. I sold your product when there
was no product. This is a product!
Copy !req
1076. There is no room for girls' baseball
in this country...
Copy !req
1077. once the war is over.
Copy !req
1078. They're through.
Copy !req
1079. I think you're wrong.
Copy !req
1080. And I'm gonna prove it to you,
Mr. Harvey!
Copy !req
1081. Hi, my name's Mae. That's more
than a name, that's an attitude.
Copy !req
1082. Here's my friend Doris.
Best player on the team.
Copy !req
1083. Smile for the camera.
Copy !req
1084. - Thank you, Mae.
- You're the best.
Copy !req
1085. - The game put us in the playoffs.
- I could have finished.
Copy !req
1086. Stilwell could've hit off you.
Copy !req
1087. What's the matter?
Too big to finish your own games now?
Copy !req
1088. Hey!
Copy !req
1089. Don't start with me, Kit.
Don't you start with me. Don't start!
Copy !req
1090. Kit, come on, cut it out!
Copy !req
1091. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
1092. - Hey, you guys.
- Get off of me!
Copy !req
1093. - Jimmy!
- Stop it!
Copy !req
1094. Get off of her.
Copy !req
1095. - Get your sister off of her!
- Stay out of it!
Copy !req
1096. - You stay out of it!
- Doris!
Copy !req
1097. You just wait, Doris!
Copy !req
1098. Let me down!
Copy !req
1099. Let me down!
Copy !req
1100. You stay down there and you cool off!
Copy !req
1101. - Why'd she do it?
- She was vulnerable. You provoked her.
Copy !req
1102. - Shut up, Helen!
- You're making her more upset.
Copy !req
1103. Really!
Copy !req
1104. - I don't need it from Helen too.
- Take a shower.
Copy !req
1105. - Leave me. I'm not taking a shower.
- She reminds me of my husband.
Copy !req
1106. Save some hot water for me,
you guys.
Copy !req
1107. You okay?
Copy !req
1108. My rear end hurts
where Jimmy dropped me.
Copy !req
1109. - You acted like a baby out there.
- You treat me like a baby.
Copy !req
1110. I treated you like a pitcher
who'd lost her stuff.
Copy !req
1111. When Betty's in trouble, you nurse her.
Every pitch, you're backing her up!
Copy !req
1112. I seem to remember last week...
Copy !req
1113. somebody throwing
a rosin bag in my face.
Copy !req
1114. Told me to get my fat ass behind
the plate. Was that you or the umpire?
Copy !req
1115. You could've backed me up today...
Copy !req
1116. instead of holding me back.
Copy !req
1117. I hold you back?
Copy !req
1118. It's like at home.
Copy !req
1119. It's like if you're here,
then I'm not here.
Copy !req
1120. What does that mean?
Copy !req
1121. I don't know what I mean.
I know I'm wrong.
Copy !req
1122. I know you're right and I'm wrong.
I know that. I just... You...
Copy !req
1123. I just get so mad!
Copy !req
1124. Why do you gotta be so good, huh?
Copy !req
1125. Hey, Kit.
Copy !req
1126. Kit.
Copy !req
1127. Dottie, there you are.
You weren't on the bus.
Copy !req
1128. Could I speak to you a minute?
Copy !req
1129. I have to leave.
Copy !req
1130. Don't worry.
The bus wouldn't leave without you.
Copy !req
1131. No. I'm going home.
I'm leaving the team.
Copy !req
1132. What?
Copy !req
1133. - Why? What...
- I have to go home.
Copy !req
1134. Home? You can't go home now.
No, it...
Copy !req
1135. This couldn't come at a worse time.
Copy !req
1136. You see, we're in a bit of a crisis,
and I have to try to pull something off.
Copy !req
1137. It's not a good time to lose
our most popular player.
Copy !req
1138. - What's the problem? Maybe I can help.
- I don't wanna talk about it.
Copy !req
1139. It's personal?
Copy !req
1140. It's one of the girls, isn't it?
It's Mae, right?
Copy !req
1141. No. Kit, that's it.
I've noticed there's some friction.
Copy !req
1142. That's fine. That's no problem.
Doesn't mean you have to quit.
Copy !req
1143. I can arrange a trade.
Copy !req
1144. Like Racine? Kenosha? South Bend?
Copy !req
1145. Trade me or whatever.
Copy !req
1146. But figure it out by tomorrow.
Otherwise, I'm going home.
Copy !req
1147. Tomorrow? Fine! I'll work
everything out by tomorrow.
Copy !req
1148. You really gave me a scare there
for a second.
Copy !req
1149. Hey, does anybody have
any extra hose?
Copy !req
1150. - Does anybody have any extra hose?
- Mae, your date's here.
Copy !req
1151. - How do I look?
- Where'd you get that dress?
Copy !req
1152. - Borrowed it.
- It don't fit. It's too tight.
Copy !req
1153. I don't plan on wearing it that long.
Copy !req
1154. I don't know why
you get dressed at all.
Copy !req
1155. - Where's Dottie?
- In there.
Copy !req
1156. - Wanna go to the movies with me?
- You wanna go with me?
Copy !req
1157. - You bitch!
- What?
Copy !req
1158. I've been traded to Racine!
Copy !req
1159. You? I told them to trade me.
Copy !req
1160. Oh, yeah, they'd really trade you.
Miss Star, Miss Perfect.
Copy !req
1161. You knew what was gonna happen!
Copy !req
1162. - I didn't!
- This'll be better than the movies.
Copy !req
1163. - I'll quit. Is that what you want?
- Then they'll blame me for you quitting!
Copy !req
1164. What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
1165. Stay away from me. Leave me alone!
That's what I want you to do!
Copy !req
1166. Kit, listen to me.
Copy !req
1167. It was all a mistake, okay?
A big mistake.
Copy !req
1168. - I was getting too good.
- You won't listen.
Copy !req
1169. I knew if I did too good,
you'd do something to push me down!
Copy !req
1170. Blow it out your rear end! I'm sick
of being blamed for everything...
Copy !req
1171. bothering you.
I got you into this league!
Copy !req
1172. She got her in the league.
Copy !req
1173. - I didn't even wanna be here!
- Then why are you still here?
Copy !req
1174. Kit wants to know
why she's still playing.
Copy !req
1175. My train leaves at 8:00.
I got 10 minutes to pack.
Copy !req
1176. If you have trouble,
you know who to blame.
Copy !req
1177. - I'll see you in the World Series.
- Yeah, you bet you will.
Copy !req
1178. Don't look at her. Don't look at her.
Copy !req
1179. Has anyone seen my new red hat?
Copy !req
1180. Oh, piss on your hat!
Copy !req
1181. - Well, that seemed uncalled for.
- Mommy!
Copy !req
1182. Just keep it down, okay?
Copy !req
1183. - Kit's off our team.
- She's not!
Copy !req
1184. Yes, she is. Are you deaf?
Copy !req
1185. Kit?
Copy !req
1186. Kit, you need any help in there?
Copy !req
1187. Don't act like this.
You're still in the league.
Copy !req
1188. You're just on another team,
that's all.
Copy !req
1189. Batter up
Copy !req
1190. Hear that call
Copy !req
1191. The time has come
Copy !req
1192. For one and all
Copy !req
1193. To play
Copy !req
1194. Ball
Copy !req
1195. For we're the members of
Copy !req
1196. The All-American League
We come from cities
Copy !req
1197. Near and far
Copy !req
1198. We got Canadians
Copy !req
1199. Irish ones and Swedes
Copy !req
1200. We're all for one, we're one for all
We're All-Americans
Copy !req
1201. Each girl stands
Her head so proudly high
Copy !req
1202. Her motto, do or die
Copy !req
1203. She's not the one to use
Or need an alibi
Copy !req
1204. Our chaperones are not too soft
They're not too tough
Copy !req
1205. Our managers are on the ball
Copy !req
1206. Now, Miss Cuthbert...
Copy !req
1207. You gorgeous stack
of pancakes, you!
Copy !req
1208. Man on the floor!
Copy !req
1209. Already dressed.
Copy !req
1210. Get Stilwell away.
I don't know what he's doing.
Copy !req
1211. Get him away from the tape!
Copy !req
1212. - Stilwell, angel, come here now.
- All right.
Copy !req
1213. - Come over here.
- All right, everybody, let's listen up.
Copy !req
1214. I was in the toilet reading my contract,
and it turns out I get a bonus...
Copy !req
1215. when we get to the World Series.
Copy !req
1216. So let's play hard! Play smart!
Use your heads!
Copy !req
1217. That's that lump three feet
above our ass, right, Jimmy?
Copy !req
1218. Well, some more prominent
than others there.
Copy !req
1219. Come in.
Copy !req
1220. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1221. Excuse me!
Copy !req
1222. I got a telegram
from the War Department.
Copy !req
1223. Oh, my God! Ernie!
Copy !req
1224. Let's see.
Copy !req
1225. Boy, I hate these.
These are the worst.
Copy !req
1226. The Army could at least
send someone personally...
Copy !req
1227. to tell you your husband's dead.
Copy !req
1228. Darn! I had the name right here.
Copy !req
1229. Well, I gotta go back
and get this straightened out.
Copy !req
1230. - Sorry.
- Hey.
Copy !req
1231. - Just give me the telegram.
- I can't. I don't have a name.
Copy !req
1232. - Just give me the telegram.
- Hey.
Copy !req
1233. This is official.
This is from the War Department!
Copy !req
1234. Come on! That's official business!
Copy !req
1235. I'm coming...
Copy !req
1236. Miss Cuthbert. Miss Cuthbert.
Copy !req
1237. - I'm sorry, Betty.
- No, it's George!
Copy !req
1238. No, no, no!
Copy !req
1239. It's okay.
Copy !req
1240. - Jimmy, you wanna take her?
- All right.
Copy !req
1241. - It's okay. It's okay.
- It's George!
Copy !req
1242. It's okay.
Copy !req
1243. It's George. No.
Copy !req
1244. No.
Copy !req
1245. All right, come on. Come on.
Copy !req
1246. We still got a game to play.
Copy !req
1247. Come in.
Copy !req
1248. Hi, cutie.
Copy !req
1249. Bob.
Copy !req
1250. How?
Copy !req
1251. How did you?
Copy !req
1252. Bob! Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1253. Bob, what happened?
Copy !req
1254. - Oh, I'm fine.
- What is it?
Copy !req
1255. It was a sniper.
Copy !req
1256. I was lucky though.
He got seven of us before we got him.
Copy !req
1257. Oh, sweetie! Oh, sweetie!
Copy !req
1258. It's all right. I made it.
Copy !req
1259. - I missed you so much.
- I've been discharged.
Copy !req
1260. I didn't think
I'd ever see you again.
Copy !req
1261. - It's all over. I'm here, baby.
- Yeah. Okay.
Copy !req
1262. Well, listen.
Copy !req
1263. You have to sit down here.
Copy !req
1264. I'll clear all this stuff off.
Copy !req
1265. I almost forgot how beautiful you are.
Copy !req
1266. - Oh, no. I look terrible.
- You look beautiful.
Copy !req
1267. You're the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.
Copy !req
1268. I love you.
Copy !req
1269. Can we just hold each other
for the rest of our lives?
Copy !req
1270. That's my plan.
Copy !req
1271. Why am I the only person on this bus?
What are we waiting for?
Copy !req
1272. Are you physically unable
to show up on time?
Copy !req
1273. - Coming, Jimmy.
- Bye.
Copy !req
1274. If you think you can do without
the batting practice, think again.
Copy !req
1275. Not with the way you've been hitting.
Copy !req
1276. Oh, let's not go to the World Series
without Stilwell's toys!
Copy !req
1277. - Alice, what time is it where you live?
- Don't yell before a game. It's bad luck.
Copy !req
1278. - Mr. Dugan?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1279. - Could you sign my baseball?
- Sure.
Copy !req
1280. There.
Copy !req
1281. "Avoid the clap. Jimmy Dugan."
Copy !req
1282. That's good advice!
Copy !req
1283. Dottie. Write to us. We'll miss you.
Copy !req
1284. We will. Thanks.
Copy !req
1285. Good luck in the World Series.
Copy !req
1286. - Bye!
- Bye, girls. Bye, girls.
Copy !req
1287. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Molly.
Copy !req
1288. So lovely. We'll be back.
Copy !req
1289. - Taking a little day trip?
- No.
Copy !req
1290. Bob and I are...
Copy !req
1291. driving home...
Copy !req
1292. to Oregon.
Copy !req
1293. I really thought you were a ballplayer.
Copy !req
1294. - Well, you were wrong.
- Was I?
Copy !req
1295. Yeah. It is only a game, Jimmy.
Copy !req
1296. It's only a game,
and I don't need this.
Copy !req
1297. I have Bob. I don't need this. I don't.
Copy !req
1298. I gave away five years at the end
of my career to drinking.
Copy !req
1299. Five years.
Copy !req
1300. There isn't anything I wouldn't give
to get back any one day of it.
Copy !req
1301. Well, we're different.
Copy !req
1302. That's chickenshit! You wanna go
home and make 100 babies, great.
Copy !req
1303. I can't tell anyone how to live.
Copy !req
1304. But sneaking out like this,
quitting...
Copy !req
1305. You'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Baseball is what gets inside you.
Copy !req
1306. It's what lights you up.
You can't deny that.
Copy !req
1307. It just got too hard.
Copy !req
1308. It's supposed to be hard.
Copy !req
1309. If it wasn't hard,
everyone would do it.
Copy !req
1310. The hard is what makes it great.
Copy !req
1311. Everything all right?
Copy !req
1312. Yeah, fine. Fine.
Copy !req
1313. Bye, Jimmy.
Copy !req
1314. First game of the first
women's baseball World Series.
Copy !req
1315. This is history in the making.
History in the making!
Copy !req
1316. - This is for you.
- We brought you these also.
Copy !req
1317. - For me?
- Thank them!
Copy !req
1318. Yes!
Copy !req
1319. - Cut it out!
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1320. You're out!
Copy !req
1321. Safe!
Copy !req
1322. Two box seats on the third base line.
Anybody want them?
Copy !req
1323. I got two box seats. Who wants them?
Copy !req
1324. - One of them.
- Ten bucks.
Copy !req
1325. That's my daughter, third baseman,
Doris Murphy. Best one they got.
Copy !req
1326. - Where you from?
- Staten Island.
Copy !req
1327. After the game, I'm gonna
take her out for a steak dinner.
Copy !req
1328. All right, all right, all right!
Copy !req
1329. Time for the song and dance.
What is that smell?
Copy !req
1330. Alice thinks it's bad luck
to change her socks.
Copy !req
1331. So we all have to suffer?
Get away.
Copy !req
1332. Outfielders, play deep a couple steps.
Don't give up anything long. Alice?
Copy !req
1333. If the lead-off hitter gets on,
they're gonna bunt. Be ready. All right.
Copy !req
1334. Now, I'd like to...
Copy !req
1335. I'd like to lead you all in a prayer.
Copy !req
1336. - Come on.
- A prayer?
Copy !req
1337. - A what?
- Come on.
Copy !req
1338. - Yes, a little prayer. Come on!
- Is he serious?
Copy !req
1339. - Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
- Okay, good, good.
Copy !req
1340. Lord...
Copy !req
1341. hallowed be thy name.
Copy !req
1342. May our feet be swift.
Copy !req
1343. May our bats be mighty.
Copy !req
1344. May our balls...
Copy !req
1345. be plentiful.
Copy !req
1346. And, Lord...
Copy !req
1347. I'd just like to thank you
for that waitress in South Bend.
Copy !req
1348. You know who she is.
She kept calling your name.
Copy !req
1349. And, God...
Copy !req
1350. these are good girls,
and they work hard.
Copy !req
1351. Help them see it all the way through.
Okay, that's it.
Copy !req
1352. - Let's go.
- Amen.
Copy !req
1353. Okay.
Copy !req
1354. Go...
Copy !req
1355. Peaches!
Copy !req
1356. Last game. Now or never, ladies.
Copy !req
1357. Alice, you're killing me.
You're killing me, Alice!
Copy !req
1358. You're goddamn killing me!
Copy !req
1359. Well, this is it, folks.
One game for the whole ball of string.
Copy !req
1360. There is no tomorrow.
Copy !req
1361. Someone will walk out
league champions...
Copy !req
1362. and someone else
will just walk out.
Copy !req
1363. You're gonna lose!
You're gonna lose!
Copy !req
1364. Stilwell! Come here!
Copy !req
1365. Evelyn!
Copy !req
1366. You keep that kid away from me
for just one game!
Copy !req
1367. - Stilwell, come here.
- Ellen Sue, how's it looking?
Copy !req
1368. - Good.
- Feeling good? Looking good!
Copy !req
1369. - Nice and warm?
- Warm.
Copy !req
1370. Good. Alice, if Ellen Sue doesn't have
anything, don't keep it a secret.
Copy !req
1371. You tell me. You tell me right away.
You understand me?
Copy !req
1372. Do you hear me?
Copy !req
1373. Yeah, you're screaming. I hear you.
Copy !req
1374. Where'd you come from?
Copy !req
1375. We got as far as Yellowstone Park
and turned back.
Copy !req
1376. Have trouble with the bears, did you?
Copy !req
1377. I was fine until that scout
walked into our barn. I'm no quitter.
Copy !req
1378. Wait. Wait a minute! Hold it!
Who said you could play?
Copy !req
1379. Alice has been catching
for us the last six games.
Copy !req
1380. She looks pretty good.
Copy !req
1381. You don't want me to play?
Copy !req
1382. Well, you're already dressed.
Copy !req
1383. Hell, if you want to play...
Copy !req
1384. I don't care.
Copy !req
1385. You can play.
Copy !req
1386. - Well, then, I'll play.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1387. Good.
Copy !req
1388. - Fine.
- Fine. Go play.
Copy !req
1389. Hey, Jimmy.
Copy !req
1390. You look like shit.
Don't you ever shave?
Copy !req
1391. - You're gonna lose! You're gonna lose!
- We're gonna win.
Copy !req
1392. - We're gonna win!
- You're gonna lose!
Copy !req
1393. You're gonna lose!
Copy !req
1394. You stink!
Copy !req
1395. You're gonna lose! You're...
Copy !req
1396. Got him!
Copy !req
1397. Blue! Lineup change!
Copy !req
1398. - It's okay. He's okay.
- Evelyn, he deserved it.
Copy !req
1399. Stilwell, you gonna stay out here
or come in the dugout?
Copy !req
1400. Okay. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Copy !req
1401. Strike!
Copy !req
1402. Strike!
Copy !req
1403. - You're out!
- All right!
Copy !req
1404. Come on! Come on, Evelyn!
Copy !req
1405. Three! Three!
Copy !req
1406. Strike!
Copy !req
1407. You're out!
Copy !req
1408. - You're out!
- You're out, Brenda! You are out.
Copy !req
1409. Go! Go! Go!
Copy !req
1410. Heads up! Heads up!
Copy !req
1411. - Yes.
- Good, Mae! Good catch!
Copy !req
1412. Thank goodness.
Copy !req
1413. - Go get them!
- All right, two down! Two down!
Copy !req
1414. Base hit, right field.
Gardner's up with it.
Copy !req
1415. Wallace'll stop at third.
Copy !req
1416. Gardner's throw is way off line!
Copy !req
1417. Evelyn! What are you do...?
Copy !req
1418. Go, go, go! All the way, all the way!
Copy !req
1419. I'm sorry! Shoot!
Copy !req
1420. Wallace scampers home, and the Belles
take the lead, 1 to nothing!
Copy !req
1421. They're dancing in the aisles
here in Racine!
Copy !req
1422. Yeah!
Copy !req
1423. Go Peaches, go Peaches!
Copy !req
1424. Evelyn!
Copy !req
1425. I know. I know.
Copy !req
1426. I know.
Copy !req
1427. You're still missing the cutoff man.
Copy !req
1428. That's something I would like
you to work on...
Copy !req
1429. before next season.
Copy !req
1430. Right. Okay.
Copy !req
1431. All right. Thanks.
Copy !req
1432. Thank you, Mr. Dugan. Thanks.
Copy !req
1433. All right, let's get this one!
Copy !req
1434. All right, come on!
We need some runs out there.
Copy !req
1435. Come on, we need runs.
Make something happen, Mae!
Copy !req
1436. All-the-Way Mae!
Copy !req
1437. - They love her.
- Come on, now, let's go, let's go!
Copy !req
1438. - Come on, now.
- Very cute. Thanks.
Copy !req
1439. Come on, Mae. Come on, bring her in!
Copy !req
1440. Come on, Kit.
Copy !req
1441. - Safe!
- She's safe!
Copy !req
1442. Way to play! Way to run!
Way to make something happen! Yeah!
Copy !req
1443. Safe!
Copy !req
1444. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
1445. You get a hit, I'll baby-sit
that little porker! Come on!
Copy !req
1446. You're out!
Copy !req
1447. Come on! Bring me home, Helen!
Bring me home.
Copy !req
1448. - Out!
- Yes.
Copy !req
1449. Peaches are down to their final out.
Copy !req
1450. But with tying and go-ahead runs
in scoring position.
Copy !req
1451. Big Dottie Hinson striding
to the plate.
Copy !req
1452. Okay, let's get out of this inning!
Come on!
Copy !req
1453. Let's go.
Copy !req
1454. Throw smoke, Kit! Throw smoke!
Copy !req
1455. Here's the pitch.
Copy !req
1456. Bite me on the butt
and call me an apple!
Copy !req
1457. She nearly took her head off!
Copy !req
1458. - Get it in!
- Mordabito scores!
Copy !req
1459. - Murphy, she will score!
- Throw it!
Copy !req
1460. And Rockford has taken the lead,
2 to 1! Oh, doctor!
Copy !req
1461. That's my wife!
Copy !req
1462. It's okay, Kit! It's okay!
Copy !req
1463. One more!
Copy !req
1464. Keep it going!
Copy !req
1465. Put it past the little queen here.
Put it past her.
Copy !req
1466. Right past her!
Copy !req
1467. There's a fly ball to left field.
Copy !req
1468. On her horse. She'll have to
go for this one to the stands!
Copy !req
1469. For the final out to retire the side.
Copy !req
1470. But the damage has been done.
Copy !req
1471. Right here in Racine,
Rockford leads our Belles, 2 to 1...
Copy !req
1472. as we go to the bottom of the 9th.
Copy !req
1473. Come on, it's okay.
You gotta bat now. Relax!
Copy !req
1474. Kit, one run and we are back
in this ball game.
Copy !req
1475. Shake it off. You gotta hit.
Copy !req
1476. It's okay, Kit.
Copy !req
1477. Okay, come on now.
Make her pitch to you. Let's go.
Copy !req
1478. Hey, come on. Strike her out.
Strike her out!
Copy !req
1479. Bear down! Bear down now, blond girl!
Come on!
Copy !req
1480. First pitch, she drives it
to deep center!
Copy !req
1481. Mordabito goes back to the wall...
Copy !req
1482. and makes the catch!
Copy !req
1483. Oh, beautiful catch!
Copy !req
1484. Beautiful!
Copy !req
1485. Gotlander's pitch...
Copy !req
1486. and it is in the dirt! Ball 1!
Copy !req
1487. Ellen Sue, Ellen Sue, Ellen Sue!
Copy !req
1488. That looked good to me, Ellen Sue!
Copy !req
1489. Shake that one off now!
Shake that one off!
Copy !req
1490. That ain't nothing!
That ain't nothing!
Copy !req
1491. Gotlander, she delivers. And...
Copy !req
1492. There's a ground ball
between first and second.
Copy !req
1493. This ball has eyes.
Copy !req
1494. Hendricks will go up at first
with a base hit.
Copy !req
1495. That's all right. One down!
We got one down! Let's go!
Copy !req
1496. Foul ball! Hinson's chasing after it.
Copy !req
1497. Don't touch it!
Copy !req
1498. Did she get it?
Copy !req
1499. She got it! She got it!
Copy !req
1500. There's no question who the star
of this game is.
Copy !req
1501. Dottie Hinson has her team
one out from the title.
Copy !req
1502. There you go. There you go!
Copy !req
1503. Come on, Kit, you're up.
You're the hitter now. Let's go.
Copy !req
1504. The last batter standing
in Rockford's way is Kit Keller.
Copy !req
1505. Kit is 1 for 3 today.
Copy !req
1506. - Can I have time-out?
- Time!
Copy !req
1507. High fastballs. She can't hit them,
can't lay off them.
Copy !req
1508. All right.
Copy !req
1509. All right, if we just hold them now,
we got it! Come on!
Copy !req
1510. Come on, Ellen Sue!
Copy !req
1511. One, two, three! One, two, three!
Copy !req
1512. Play ball!
Copy !req
1513. - Strike!
- Swing and a miss. Strike 1!
Copy !req
1514. Oh, yes! Yes! Thank you, God!
Copy !req
1515. Lay off the high ones!
Copy !req
1516. Here's the pitch.
Copy !req
1517. Swing and a miss! Strike 2!
Copy !req
1518. Ellen Sue!
One more! One more!
Copy !req
1519. Here's the pitch.
Copy !req
1520. And it's a long fly ball.
Back, back, back.
Copy !req
1521. It falls in there!
Copy !req
1522. No one'll get to this ball!
Copy !req
1523. This should tie it up!
Hendricks is rounding third!
Copy !req
1524. She will...
Copy !req
1525. score!
Copy !req
1526. Keller is heading for third!
Copy !req
1527. Gardner hits the relay man
with a frozen rope!
Copy !req
1528. The coach is giving Keller the stop sign
at third! But she is not stopping!
Copy !req
1529. She runs through the stop sign!
Copy !req
1530. She is not stopping!
Copy !req
1531. Here comes the throw!
Copy !req
1532. It should be in time!
Copy !req
1533. And...
Copy !req
1534. Safe!
Copy !req
1535. She is safe! I can't believe it!
Copy !req
1536. Hinson dropped the ball!
Copy !req
1537. Hinson dropped the ball!
Copy !req
1538. The ball game is over!
Racine has won the game, 3 to 2...
Copy !req
1539. and the World Series!
Copy !req
1540. Take me home, Mama,
and put me to bed!
Copy !req
1541. I have seen enough to know
I have seen too much!
Copy !req
1542. Kit, Kit, Kit, Kit.
Copy !req
1543. Come on. You played a good game.
Copy !req
1544. Well, what do you say?
Copy !req
1545. All right, Ira.
Copy !req
1546. We'll stick with it.
Copy !req
1547. My mother always used to say,
"If at first you don't succeed..."
Copy !req
1548. You don't have to spend the next
six months in Saskatchewan.
Copy !req
1549. - Alice, you told me it's lovely.
- Yeah, if you like ice fishing.
Copy !req
1550. I thought we were gonna win,
I swear.
Copy !req
1551. - Well, we didn't.
- Up to that last inning, we had it.
Copy !req
1552. I'm so depressed, I could eat a cow.
Copy !req
1553. Hey, Dottie. It's all right.
Copy !req
1554. You know?
Copy !req
1555. You did good.
Copy !req
1556. Get dressed. See you on the bus.
Copy !req
1557. Thanks, Mae.
Copy !req
1558. Here. Thanks.
Copy !req
1559. Wanna be a ballplayer
when you get big?
Copy !req
1560. - Yeah.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1561. - What's your name? Angelina.
- Angelina.
Copy !req
1562. Here you go.
Copy !req
1563. You gotta practice really hard.
Copy !req
1564. What's your name?
Copy !req
1565. - Hi. How much are these?
- Help yourself.
Copy !req
1566. - Thank you.
- Sure.
Copy !req
1567. - Hitting!
- You all like hitting better?
Copy !req
1568. - What's your name? Mary.
- Mary.
Copy !req
1569. - Who you rooting for?
- Racine!
Copy !req
1570. That's what I thought you said.
Copy !req
1571. Yeah.
Copy !req
1572. Okay, well, you guys be good.
Get dirty.
Copy !req
1573. - Bye!
- Bye, Kit!
Copy !req
1574. Dottie, look...
Copy !req
1575. - I'm sorry I knocked you over.
- No, you're not.
Copy !req
1576. You blocked the entire plate!
How do you expect...
Copy !req
1577. You did what you had to. You just
beat me. You wanted it more than me.
Copy !req
1578. I jammed my shoulder,
if it makes you feel any better.
Copy !req
1579. A little.
Copy !req
1580. Bob and I are driving back to Oregon.
You're welcome to come with us.
Copy !req
1581. No. You two should be alone.
Copy !req
1582. I'd just be in the way.
Copy !req
1583. When do you think
you'll be coming home?
Copy !req
1584. Well, some of the girls talked about
staying around here and getting jobs.
Copy !req
1585. I really like it here.
Copy !req
1586. Christmas?
Copy !req
1587. I... I don't know. But you're
coming back next year, right?
Copy !req
1588. No.
Copy !req
1589. I wanna have kids.
We wanna have kids.
Copy !req
1590. Dottie, you got plenty of time
to have kids.
Copy !req
1591. You couldn't give this up.
You'd miss it.
Copy !req
1592. Miss it?
Miss putting on all this gear?
Copy !req
1593. Catching a double-header in 100-degree
heat? Pushing the bus in mud?
Copy !req
1594. Getting slammed into every other day
by a base runner?
Copy !req
1595. Think I'm gonna miss that?
Copy !req
1596. Yeah.
Copy !req
1597. - I'll tell you what I'll miss.
- What?
Copy !req
1598. Well, I'll miss the girls.
Copy !req
1599. I'll miss you, Kit.
Copy !req
1600. Me?
Copy !req
1601. Yeah. How many sisters
do you think I have?
Copy !req
1602. I love you, Kit.
Copy !req
1603. - Really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1604. Just when I want you to stay,
you're leaving.
Copy !req
1605. Well, thank you for getting me
into the league, Dottie.
Copy !req
1606. You got yourself in the league.
I got you on the train.
Copy !req
1607. Play great.
Copy !req
1608. Like you.
Copy !req
1609. You stay in touch, you hear?
Come home every once in a while.
Copy !req
1610. If you don't, I'll come back
and hit line drives at your head, okay?
Copy !req
1611. Go on.
Copy !req
1612. I love you.
Copy !req
1613. And you are gonna miss this.
Copy !req
1614. - I don't care what you say.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1615. - There's the winner!
- Good game, Jimmy.
Copy !req
1616. - Good game, good manager.
- Jimmy Dugan.
Copy !req
1617. - Hi, I'm a big fan of yours.
- Hi. Yeah?
Copy !req
1618. I'm Dottie's husband.
Copy !req
1619. Oh, hey, hey.
Well, then I'm a big fan of yours.
Copy !req
1620. - Yeah.
- Well...
Copy !req
1621. Old man Harvey just...
Copy !req
1622. offered me a job managing
next year in Wichita.
Copy !req
1623. Triple A? That's great. Good luck.
Copy !req
1624. I turned him down.
Copy !req
1625. - Why?
- What do you mean, why?
Copy !req
1626. I already got a job.
Copy !req
1627. I'll see you.
Copy !req
1628. - All right.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1629. Miss Cuthbert, save me
my special seat, now, cutie!
Copy !req
1630. Meet you at the hotel.
Copy !req
1631. Really, Dad, thank you for coming.
It was such a surprise to me.
Copy !req
1632. Hey, did you see Mae's catch, Dad?
Copy !req
1633. I'd rather see you play ball
than that other stuff you used to do.
Copy !req
1634. What are you saying that for?
You make her feel bad! All right.
Copy !req
1635. Steak dinner.
Copy !req
1636. On you. All right, I'll see you later.
Copy !req
1637. Kit, over here! Come on, let's go!
Copy !req
1638. Kit, come on!
Come on, let's get going!
Copy !req
1639. - Bye!
- Goodbye, sweetie!
Copy !req
1640. - That was Bob, huh?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1641. Nice guy.
Copy !req
1642. - Yeah.
- Yeah. Well...
Copy !req
1643. Hey, Kit.
Copy !req
1644. Lay off of those high ones.
Copy !req
1645. I like the high ones.
Copy !req
1646. - Mule!
- Nag!
Copy !req
1647. - Hey, Mae. Come here.
- What?
Copy !req
1648. - What do you want?
- Come here.
Copy !req
1649. - Come here, come here.
- What?
Copy !req
1650. - What is it?
- Look at her.
Copy !req
1651. Hey.
Copy !req
1652. Dottie.
Copy !req
1653. It's Dottie.
Copy !req
1654. Hey, Doris.
Copy !req
1655. - Dottie!
- Hi.
Copy !req
1656. Mae? All-the-Way Mae?
Copy !req
1657. - No one's called me that since...
- Last night!
Copy !req
1658. - I'm a married woman now.
- Yeah, about eight times.
Copy !req
1659. Hey, girls! Look who's here!
Copy !req
1660. Shirley?
Copy !req
1661. - Oh, Shirley!
- Dottie.
Copy !req
1662. Helen Haley!
Copy !req
1663. - It's Dr. Haley now. I'm a doctor.
- I always knew you would be.
Copy !req
1664. - Who's that?
- That's Dottie Hinson.
Copy !req
1665. Betty Spaghetti.
Copy !req
1666. - Oh, hi, Betty.
- Best ballplayer in the league.
Copy !req
1667. - I don't remember her.
- She only played one year.
Copy !req
1668. Oh, Ellen Sue!
Copy !req
1669. - Hi!
- You haven't changed one bit.
Copy !req
1670. Dottie, I married a plastic surgeon.
Copy !req
1671. Dottie, having you here is good luck.
Copy !req
1672. Thanks, Alice.
Copy !req
1673. Dottie?
Copy !req
1674. Marla.
Copy !req
1675. - Oh, Marla.
- Dottie.
Copy !req
1676. I'm so glad you're here.
Copy !req
1677. - How's? Yeah.
- Nelson? He's good.
Copy !req
1678. He's retired.
Our son runs the business.
Copy !req
1679. How's Bob?
Copy !req
1680. Oh, you know. He's...
Copy !req
1681. - When?
- Just this winter.
Copy !req
1682. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1683. - We finally made it.
- Oh, Shirley, I'm so excited.
Copy !req
1684. I've got butterflies in my stomach!
Copy !req
1685. They've got a "Women In Baseball"
thing up there. Isn't it neat?
Copy !req
1686. Baseball Hall of Fame.
I'm shaking.
Copy !req
1687. Wait a minute here. Dottie?
Copy !req
1688. - Guess who that is.
- Who?
Copy !req
1689. Hi, Dottie.
Copy !req
1690. You remember?
You're gonna lose.
Copy !req
1691. Stilwell, angel!
Copy !req
1692. My goodness!
Copy !req
1693. Where's your mom?
Copy !req
1694. Mom died a couple years ago.
Copy !req
1695. Oh, I'm sorry.
She was a real nice lady.
Copy !req
1696. And a damn fine ballplayer.
Copy !req
1697. Yeah.
Copy !req
1698. When I heard about this, I...
Copy !req
1699. just felt like I...
Copy !req
1700. owed it to her to be here.
Copy !req
1701. She always said it was the best time
she ever had in her whole life.
Copy !req
1702. Stilwell, come here.
Copy !req
1703. You recognize yourself?
Copy !req
1704. - Can I get one of these?
- Sure. Of course.
Copy !req
1705. Ladies! Ladies!
Copy !req
1706. It's a pleasure to welcome you
here today.
Copy !req
1707. It's taken years,
but you are the first women...
Copy !req
1708. ever to be inducted
into the Baseball Hall of Fame!
Copy !req
1709. - And now...
- Wait. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
1710. This really isn't right.
Copy !req
1711. Mr. Lowenstein...
Copy !req
1712. since you kept the league going
all those years...
Copy !req
1713. well, you do it.
Copy !req
1714. - There you go, Ira.
- Thank you, Bob.
Copy !req
1715. Ladies...
Copy !req
1716. it's my honor.
Copy !req
1717. Mr. Capadino, look! That's when you
changed my life, honey!
Copy !req
1718. And, oh, that's great!
Copy !req
1719. Stilwell, angel, smile!
Copy !req
1720. Batter up
Copy !req
1721. Hear that call
Copy !req
1722. The time has come
Copy !req
1723. For one and all
Copy !req
1724. To play
Copy !req
1725. Ball
Copy !req
1726. We're the members of
Copy !req
1727. The All-American League
Copy !req
1728. We come from cities
Copy !req
1729. Near and far
Copy !req
1730. We've got Canadians
Copy !req
1731. Irish ones and Swedes
Copy !req
1732. We're all for one
We're one for all
Copy !req
1733. We're All-Americans
Copy !req
1734. - Look.
- Is that you, Grand ma?
Copy !req
1735. Her motto, do or die
Copy !req
1736. She's not the one to use
Copy !req
1737. Or need an alibi
Copy !req
1738. Oh, Kit.
Copy !req
1739. I'm so glad you came.
Copy !req
1740. Hi, Aunt Dottie.
Copy !req
1741. Take a picture.
Copy !req
1742. Let's take a picture of the whole team.
The original Peaches!
Copy !req
1743. Hey, come on, come on. Okay.
Copy !req
1744. Strike!
Copy !req
1745. That was clear inside.
It was clear inside, clear inside.
Copy !req
1746. - That's three times.
- That's my opinion.
Copy !req
1747. Yesterday or tomorrow,
that might be a ball...
Copy !req
1748. but today, it was a strike!
