" I'm a Peach." " Well, I was just wondering because I couldn't figure out why you'd throw home when we've got a 2-run lead!" "You let the tying run get on 2nd, and we lost the lead!" "You start using your head!" "That's that lump that's three feet above your ass!" "Are you crying?" "Are you crying?" "There's no crying!" "There's no crying in baseball!" "Leave her alone, Jimmy." "You zip it, Doris!" "Rogers Hornsby, my manager, called me a 'talking pile of pig shit'!" "That was when my parents came from Michigan to see me play the game!" "And did I cry?" "No!" "Do you know why?" "Because there's no crying in baseball." "No crying in baseball!" "No crying!" "What's the matter?" "She's crying, sir." "I didn't mean to do that." "Perhaps you chastised her too vehemently." "Good rule of thumb:" "Treat each of them as you would your mother." "Anyone ever tell you you look like a penis with a hat on?" "You're out of here!" " I heard that!" " You misunderstood." " Ten seconds!" " You misunderstood!" "You can't throw me out knowing you've got a strike!" "Off this field!" "I can't believe no one ever called you that before!" "That's where you belong." "I'm in charge now." "The crowd's light today, what with the tractor show in town." "If you're nearby, and you must be, since this isn't a powerful radio station..." "People better start showing up." "We don't have fans, we don't have a league." "Ladies you all look wonderful." "There's a reporter and a photographer in the stands from Life magazine." " We're famous!" " Life magazine?" "Don't waste your time." "Dottie, I'm trying to get them to do a story about you." "Me?" "Why me?" "You're the "Queen of Diamonds." That's what I'm calling you." "Did you tell them about me?" "I told them how at first, the scout didn't even want you but how Dottie wouldn't come without her kid sister." "They really loved it." "A real human-interest story." "Will you just try to give them something spectacular out there?" "Anything." "What's the matter?" "Well, we're not doing so well." "Harvey and the other owners think they've made a mistake." "They might close you down." "What are you talking about?" "They can't close us down here." " What kind of a thing is that?" " What's it mean?" "They're businessmen." "No profit, no product." "And what am I supposed to do?" "Go back to taxi dancing?" "Ten cents so some slob can sweat gin all over me?" "I'm never doing that again!" "So you tell old rich Mr. Chocolate Man that he ain't closing me down!" "They can't keep us from playing!" "We'll show them how we play." "I'm sorry." "I'm very sorry." "I am trying my best." "So will you just give them everything you've got?" "We always do." "A slick play by Alice Gaspers and there's 2 gone in the 3rd." "That'll bring up Dee Lynch." "Lynch is the most consistent Belles hitter this year." "Settles in." "Pops it up!" "Foul." "Hinson should have no trouble with this." "She's under it." "Uncle Elmore's socks!" "What did she do?" "I can't do that." "Who can?" " What is her name?" " Dottie Hinson." "D-O-T-T-I-E..." "What the hell was that?" "I just thought it might help the league." "A goddamn circus!" "A double would be nice" "All right!" "God knows we have a game." "It's not like any of this helps, believe me." "That was really nice!" "Let's go, girls." "Dozens of people are waiting for the game to start." "Batter!" "What is her name?" "Hey you, tall girl!" "Beverly!" "Look sharp, tall- What is her name?" "Beverly." "Good." "Five bucks!" "Five bucks!" "What if, at a key moment in the game, my uniform bursts open and my bosoms fly out?" "That might draw a crowd, right?" "Think there's men who ain't seen your bosoms?" "Thank you." " Marla, what you got?" " What about me?" "I got a letter from Nelson!" "Fly ball as Dottie Hinson brings the crowd to its feet with a home run!" "22!" "We love you, 22!" " Come on!" " Open your mouth!" "The kid ate the lineup!" "Right here." "I'm so happy!" "Thank you." "I love you." "I'll be back next season." "See you next season!" "Slide!" "Slide!" "Safe!" "Thank you!" "Let it up." "Let it up." "That was a good one." "It's a fly ball to left!" "Betty Spaghetti makes the catch!" "Heads up!" "Spaghetti makes the throw!" "It's gonna be close!" "Aunt Edna's bridgework!" "She is out!" "Dottie Hinson held onto the ball!" "Oh, doctor!" "A lot of ballplayers use it." "High foul pop." "It's coming back!" "She caught it!" "Unbelievable!" "Full house on its feet cheering Dottie Hinson!" "That sounded good." " You haven't got a curve ball left." " I don't?" "!" "You haven't had one since" "Safe!" "Safe!" "He's good-looking." " What's he do when not in the Army?" " Dairy assistant manager." "He'll be manager." "He's smart." "So he's good-looking and smart." "There's so few of us." "Where did you say he was?" "Italy?" "I think." "I haven't got a letter from him in three weeks." "I used to get one every week." "That doesn't mean anything." "If he's in combat, it's not like there's a mailbox on every corner." "If something happened, you would've got a telegram." "Oh, God, don't" "But he's fine." "No, he's fine." "How come you're not in the Army?" "I have no cartilage in my knee." "You don't need it to shoot Nazis." "You need this, right?" "Trigger finger." "I could do that." "How did I get so useless so fast?" "Boys like this on your fingers?" "Works for me." "Your sister's not gonna be mad?" "I don't care." "Listen, when..." " Bob." " ..." "Bob comes back will you keep playing?" "You could just quit?" "Sure." "You play like you love it." " Does he know how good you are?" " Bob?" "No, Hitler." "Yes, Bob." "How good am I?" "You stink." "You're lousy." "You're only the best player in the league." "You don't know that?" "You ever been married?" "Let me think." "Yeah, twice." "Any children?" "One of them was." "Is she out?" "I think it's time for a drink." "Hang on." "Hang on." "These really don't mix." " Good, huh?" " Oh, yeah." "It's great." "Fair ball!" "Time!" "Jimmy Dugan pops his head out of the dugout." "He's on his way to talk to his hurler." "Kit Keller looks mighty tired." "Game's getting exciting." "I'll finish it right here." "I'll strike this turkey out." "Betty's ready to come in." "Come on." "I've never been taken out before." "Ask Dottie." "I really wanna finish this game." "Please?" "What do you think?" "Well, you know, she's battling." "What do you think?" "She's throwing grapefruits." "It looks like Keller's coming out of the game, and she is not happy about it!" "Nice job, Kit!" "Betty Horn sprints in from the left-field bullpen." "Look at this crowd." "This is great!" "They're jumping, cheering and they paid to get in." "You did a fabulous job." "I won't forget this." "Thank you very much, Mr. Harvey." "I appreciate it, coming from you." "But to be perfectly honest, I think the girls deserve most of the credit." "They're great." "Fortunately, we won't need them anymore." "Do you want a peanut?" "No." "What do you mean?" "What do I mean?" "We're winning the war." "Our situation changed." "Roosevelt himself said, "Men's baseball won't be shut down."" "So we won't need the girls next year." "Bases loaded." "Bottom of the 9th." "Rockford up, 6 to 2." "Two men out." "No balls, 2 strikes." "Strike 3!" "And that is the ball game!" "Rockford is in the playoffs!" "I love these girls." "I don't need them, but I love them." "Come on." "Let's go." "Look at me." "I'm full of peanuts!" "I've got peanuts all over myself." "This is what it's gonna be like in the factories too." ""Men are back." "Turn in your rivets."" "First, it was their patriotic duty to get out and go to work." "When the men come back, they're sent back to the kitchen." "Should we send the boys returning from war back to the kitchen?" "Come on." "Do you know how dedicated they are?" "What they go through?" "They play with sprained ankles, broken fingers." "They ride a bus all night to play a double-header the next day!" "I'll make it up to them." "What?" "With Harvey Bars?" "I'm getting tired of listening to you, Ira." "I'd like your permission to take over the league." "Do you understand?" "All of the owners are getting out." "There's no point to it anymore." "Just let them finish the season, and that's it!" "I sold your product when there was no product." "This is a product!" "There is no room for girls' baseball in this country once the war is over." "They're through." "I think you're wrong." "And I'm gonna prove it to you, Mr. Harvey!" "Hi, my name's Mae." "That's more than a name, that's an attitude." "Here's my friend Doris." "Best player on the team." " Thank you." " You're the best." " The game put us in the playoffs." " I could've finished." "Stilwell could've hit off you." "What's the matter?" "Too big to finish your own games now?" "Don't start with me, Kit!" "Don't you start with me!" "Kit, come on, cut it out!" "What the hell are you doing?" "!" " Get your sister off of her!" " Stay out of it!" "You just wait, Doris!" "Let me down!" "Let me down!" "You stay down there and you cool off!" " Why'd she do it?" " She was vulnerable." "You provoked her." " Shut up, Helen!" " You're making her more upset." "Really!" " I don't need it from Helen." " Take a shower." " I'm not taking a shower." " She reminds me of my husband." "Save some hot water for me, you guys." "You okay?" "My rear end hurts where he dropped me." "You acted like a baby." "You treat me like one." "I treated you like a pitcher who'd lost her stuff." "When Betty's in trouble, you back her up every pitch!" "I seem to remember last week, somebody throwing a resin bag in my face." "Told me to get my fat ass behind the plate." "Was that you or the umpire?" "You could've backed me up today instead of holding me back." "I hold you back?" "It's like at home." "It's like if you're here, then I'm not here." "What's that mean?" "I don't know what I mean." "I know I'm wrong." "I know you're right and I'm wrong." "I know that." "I just" "I just get so mad!" "Why do you gotta be so good?" "Dottie, here you are." "You weren't on the bus." "Can I speak to you a minute?" "I have to leave." "Don't worry." "The bus wouldn't leave without you." "I'm leaving the team." "What?" " Why?" "What" " I have to go home." "Home?" "You can't go home now." "This couldn't come at a worse time." "We're in a bit of a crisis, and I have to try to pull something off." "It's not a good time to lose our most popular player." " What's the problem?" " I don't want to talk about it." "It's personal?" "It's one of the girls, isn't it?" "It's Mae, right?" "Kit, that's it." "I've noticed there's some friction." "That's fine." "No problem." "Doesn't mean you have to quit." "I can arrange a trade." "Racine?" "Kenosha?" "South Bend?" "Trade me or whatever." "But figure it out by tomorrow, or I'm going home." "Tomorrow?" "Fine!" "I'll work everything out by tomorrow." "You really gave me a scare for a second." "Does anybody have any extra hose?" "Does anybody have any extra hose?" "Mae, your date's here." " How do I look?" " Where'd you get that dress?" " Borrowed it." " It don't fit." "Too tight." "I don't plan on wearing it that long." "I don't know why you get dressed at all." "Where's Dottie?" "In there." "Wanna go to the movies with me?" "You bitch!" "I've been traded to Racine!" "You?" "I told them to trade me." "They'd really trade you." "Miss Star, Miss Perfect." "You knew what would happen!" " I didn't!" " This'll be better than the movies." " I'll quit." "Is that what you want?" " They'll blame me for you quitting!" "What do you want me to do?" "Stay away from me." "Leave me alone!" "That's what I want you to do!" "Kit, listen." "It was all a mistake." "A big mistake." " I was getting too good." " You won't listen." "I knew if I did too good, you'd do something to push me down!" "Kit, blow it out your rear end!" "I'm sick of you blaming me." "I got you into this league!" "She got her in the league!" " I didn't wanna be here!" " Then why are you still here?" "Kit wants to know why she's playing." "My train leaves at 8." "I got 10 minutes to pack." "If you have trouble, you know who to blame." "See you in the World Series." "You bet you will." "Don't look at her." "Has anyone seen my new red hat?" "Piss on your hat!" "Well, that seemed uncalled for." "Just keep it down." " Kit's off our team." " She's not!" "Yes, she is." "Are you deaf?" "You need any help in there?" "Don't act like this." "You're still in the league." "You're just on another team, that's all." "Batter up" "Hear that call" "The time has come" "For one and all" "To play" "Ball" "For we're the members of" "The All-American League We come from cities" "Near and far" "We got Canadians" "Irish ones and Swedes" "We're all for one, we're one for all We're All-Americans" "Each girl stands Her head so proudly high" "Her motto.:" "Do or Die" "She's not the one to use Or need an alibi" "Our chaperones are not too soft They're not too tough" "Our managers are on the ball" "Miss Cuthbert..." "You gorgeous stack of pancakes!" "Man on the floor!" "Already dressed." "Get Stilwell away." "I don't know what he's doing." "Get him away from the tapes!" "Angel, come here now." "All right." "Everybody, let's listen up." "I was in the toilet reading my contract, and it turns out I get a bonus when we get to the World Series." "Let's play hard!" "Play smart!" "Use your heads!" "That's that lump three feet above our ass, right?" "Some more prominent than others." "Come in." "Excuse me!" "I got a telegram from the War Department." "Oh, my God!" "Ernie!" "Boy, I hate these." "These are the worst." "The Army could at least send someone to tell you your husband's dead." "Darn!" "I had the name right here!" "I gotta go back and straighten this out." "Sorry." " Just give me the telegram." " I can't." "I don't have a name." "Just give me the telegram." "This is official." "This is from the War Department!" "Come on!" "That's official business!" "I'm coming" " I'm sorry, Betty." " No, it's George!" "It's George!" "All right, come on." "We still got a game to play." "Come in." "Hi, cutie." "How did you...?" "Bob!" "Oh, my God!" "What happened?" " I'm fine." " What is it?" "It was a sniper." "I was lucky though." "He got seven of us before we got him." "Oh, sweetie!" "It's all right." "I made it." "I missed you so much." "I've been discharged." "I didn't think I'd ever see you again." "It's all over." "I'm here, baby." "Well, listen." "You have to sit down here." "I'll clear all this stuff off." "I almost forgot how beautiful you are." " Oh, no." "I look terrible!" " You look beautiful." "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." "I love you." "Can we just hold each other for the rest of our lives?" "That's my plan." "Why am I the only one on this bus?" "What are we waiting for?" "Are you physically unable to show up on time?" "Coming, Jimmy." "If you think you can do without the batting practice, think again." "Not the way you hit." "Let's not go to the World Series without Stilwell's toys!" " Alice, what time is it where you live?" " It's bad luck to yell before a game." " Could you sign my baseball?" " Sure." ""Avoid the clap." "Jimmy Dugan. "" "That's good advice!" "Write to us." "We'll miss you." "We will." "Thanks." "Good luck in the World Series." "Taking a little day trip?" "Bob and I are driving home to Oregon." "I thought you were a ballplayer." "You were wrong." "Was I?" "It is only a game." "It's only a game, and I don't need this." "I have Bob." "I don't need this." "I gave away five years at the end of my career to drinking." "Five years." "There isn't anything I wouldn't give to get back any one day of it." "Well, we're different." "Chickenshit!" "You wanna go home and make 100 babies, great." "I can't tell anyone how to live." "But sneaking out like this, quitting..." "You'll regret it all your life." "Baseball is what gets inside you." "It's what lights you up." "You can't deny that." "It just got too hard." "It's supposed to be hard." "If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it." "The hard is what makes it great." "Everything all right?" "Yeah, fine." "Fine." "Bye, Jimmy." "First game of the first women's baseball World Series." "This is history in the making." "History in the making!" "This is for you." "We brought you these also." "For me?" "Thank them!" " Cut it out!" " I'm sorry." "Two box seats on the 3rd base line." "I got two box seats." "Who wants them?" " How much?" "10 bucks." "That's my daughter, 3rd baseman, Doris Murphy." "Best one they got." " Where you from?" " Staten Island." "After the game, I'm taking her out for a steak dinner." "All right, all right, all right!" "Time for the song and dance." "What's that smell?" "Alice thinks it's bad luck to change her socks." "So we all suffer?" "Get away, get away." "Outfielders, play deep a few steps." "Don't give up anything long." "Alice?" "If the lead-off hitter gets on, they're gonna bunt." "Be ready." "Now, I'd like to..." "I'd like to lead you in prayer." " Come on." " A prayer?" "Come on." "Yes, a little prayer." "Come on!" "Come on!" "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost..." "Lord hallowed be Thy name." "May our feet be swift." "May our bats be mighty." "May our balls be plentiful." "And, Lord I'd just like to thank you for that waitress in South Bend." "You know who she is." "She kept calling Your name." "And, God these are good girls, and they work hard." "Help them see it all the way through." "Okay, that's it." " Let's go." " Amen." "Go Peaches!" "Last game." "Now or never, ladies." "Alice, you're killing me." "You're killing me, Alice!" "You're goddamn killing me!" "And the rocket's red glare" "The bombs bursting in air" "Gave proof through the night" "That our flag was still there" "Oh, say does that star-spangled" "Banner yet wave" "O'er the land of the free" "And the home of the brave" "This is it, folks." "One game for the whole ball of string." "There is no tomorrow." "Someone will walk out league champions, and someone else will just walk out." "You're gonna lose!" "You're gonna lose!" "You keep that kid away from me for just one game!" "Ellen Sue, how's it looking?" " Good." " Feeling good?" "Looking good!" "Nice and warm?" "Good." "Alice, if Ellen Sue doesn't have anything, don't keep it a secret." "Tell me right away." "You understand me?" "Do you hear me?" "!" "You're screaming." "I hear you." "Where'd you come from?" "We got to Yellowstone and turned back." "Have trouble with the bears, did you?" "I was fine until that scout walked into our barn." "I'm no quitter." "Wait a minute!" "Hold it!" "Who said you could play?" "Alice has been catching the last six games." "She looks pretty good." "You don't want me to play?" "Well, you're already dressed." "Hell, if you want to play I don't care." "You can play." "Well, then, I'll play." "Good." " Fine." " Fine." "Go play." "You look like shit." "Don't you ever shave?" "We're gonna win." "We're gonna win!" "You're gonna lose!" "You stink!" "Got him!" "Lineup change!" " It's okay." " Evelyn, he deserved it." "Stilwell, you gonna stay out here or come in the dugout?" "Strike!" "Strike!" "You're out!" "3!" "Strike!" "You're out!" "You're out!" "You're out, Brenda!" "You are out!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Good, Mae!" "Good catch!" "Thank goodness." "2 down!" "2 down!" "Base hit." "Gardner's up with it." "Wallace'll stop at 3rd." "Gardner's throw is way off line!" "Go!" "Go!" "All the way!" "I'm sorry!" "Shoot!" "Wallace scampers home, and the Belles take the lead, 1 to nothing!" "They're dancing in the aisles here in Racine!" "I know." "I know." "You're still missing the cutoff man." "That's something I would like you to work on before next season." "All right." "Thanks." "Thank you, Mr. Dugan." "All right, let's get this one!" "All right, come on!" "We need some runs out there." "Make something happen, Mae!" "All-the-Way Mae!" " They love her." " Let's go, let's go!" "Very cute." "Thanks." "Safe!" "She's safe!" "Way to play!" "Way to run!" "Way to make something happen!" "Safe!" "You get a hit, I'll baby-sit that little porker!" "Come on!" "You're out!" "Come on!" "Bring me home, Helen!" "Out!" "Peaches are down to their final out." "Only tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position." "Big Dottie Hinson striding to the plate." "Let's get out of this inning!" "Come on!" "Throw smoke, Kit!" "Throw smoke!" "Here's the pitch." "Bite me on the butt and call me an apple!" "She nearly took her head off!" "Mordabito scores!" "Murphy, she will score!" "Rockford has taken the lead, 2 to 1!" "That's my wife!" "One more!" "Keep it going!" "Put it past the little queen here." "Right past her!" "There's a fly ball to left field." "She'll have to go for this one!" "That's the final out." "But the damage has been done." "Right here in Racine, Rockford leads our Belles, 2 to 1 as we go to the bottom of the 9th." "Come on, it's okay." "You gotta bat now." "Relax!" "One run and we are back in this ball game." "Shake it off." "You gotta hit." "It's okay, Kit." "Strike her out!" "Bad eye!" "Bat at that, blond girl!" "She drives it to deep centre!" "Mordabito goes to the wall and makes the catch!" "Beautiful catch!" "Beautiful!" "Gotlander's pitch and it is in the dirt!" "Ball 1!" "That looked good to me, Ellen Sue!" "Shake that one off!" "That ain't nothing!" "Gotlander, she delivers." "It's a ground ball between 1 st and 2nd." "This ball is hot!" "Hendricks will go up at 1 st with a base hit." "That's all right. 1 down!" "We got 1 down!" "Let's go!" "Foul ball!" "Hinson's taking after it." "That does it!" "Did she get it?" "She got it!" "She got it!" "There's no question who the star of this game is." "Dottie Hinson has her team 1 out from the title." "Come on, Kit, you're up." "You're the hitter now." "Let's go." "The last batter standing in Rockford's way is Kit Keller." "Kit is 1 for 3 today." " Can I have time-out?" " Time!" "High fastballs." "She can't hit them, can't lay off them." "All right." "All right, if we just hold them now, we got it!" "Come on!" "Come on, Ellen Sue!" "One, two, three!" "Play ball!" " Strike!" " Swing and a miss." "Strike 1!" "Yes!" "Thank you, God!" "Lay off the high ones!" "Here's the pitch." "Swing and a miss!" "Strike 2!" "One more!" "One more!" "Here's the pitch." "It is a long fly ball." "Back, back, back." "It falls in there!" "No one'll get to this ball!" "This should tie it up!" "Hendricks is rounding 3rd!" "She will score!" "Keller to 3rd!" "Gardner hits the relay man with a frozen rope!" "The coach is giving Keller the stop sign at 3rd!" "But she is not stopping!" "She runs through the stop sign!" "She is not stopping!" "Here comes the throw!" "It should be in time!" "Safe!" "She is safe!" "I can't believe it!" "Hinson dropped the ball!" "Hinson dropped the ball!" "The ball game is over!" "Racine has won the game, 3 to 2 and the World Series!" "Take me home, Mama, and put me to bed!" "I have seen enough to know I have seen too much!" "You played a good game." "Well, what do you say?" "All right, Ira." "We'll stick with it." "My mother always used to say, "If at first you don't succeed-"" "You don't have to spend six months in Saskatchewan." " Alice, you told me it's lovely." " If you like icicles." "I thought we were gonna win." " We didn't." " Up to that last inning, we had it." "I'm so depressed, I could eat a cow." "It's all right." "You did good." "Get dressed." "See you on the bus." "Thanks." "Wanna be a ballplayer when you get big?" " What's your name?" " Angelina." "Gotta practice really hard." "What's your name?" " How much?" " Help yourself." "Thank you." " Hitting!" " You all like hitting better?" " What's your name?" " Mary." " Who you rooting for?" " Racine!" "That's what I thought you said." "You guys be good." "Get dirty." " I'm sorry I knocked you over." " No, you're not." "You blocked the entire plate!" "How do you" "You did what you had to." "You beat me." "You wanted it more than me." "I jammed my shoulder, if it makes you feel any better." "A little." "Bob and I are driving back to Oregon." "You're welcome to come with us." "You two should be alone." "I'd just be in the way." "When will you be coming home?" "Some of the girls talked about staying around here and getting jobs." "I really like it here." "Christmas?" "I don't know." "You'll come back next year, right?" "I wanna have kids." "We wanna have kids." "You got plenty of time to have kids." "You couldn't give this up." "You'd miss it." "Miss it?" "Miss putting on all this gear?" "Catching a double-header in 100-degree heat?" "Pushing the bus in mud?" "Getting slammed into every other day by a base runner?" "Think I'm gonna miss that?" "I'll tell you what I'll miss." "I'll miss the girls." "I'll miss you." "Me?" "How many sisters do you think I have?" "I love you, Kit." "Really?" "Just when I want you to stay, you're leaving." "Thanks for getting me in the league." "You got yourself in the league." "I got you on the train." "Play great." "Like you." "You stay in touch." "Come home every once in a while." "If you don't, I'll come back and hit line drives at your head." "I love you." "And you are gonna miss this." "I don't care what you say." "There's the winner!" "Good game, Jimmy." "Hi, I'm a big fan of yours." "I'm Dottie's husband." "Well, then I'm a big fan of yours." "Old man Harvey just offered me a job managing next year in Wichita." "Triple A?" "Great." "Good luck." "Turned him down." "Why?" "What do you mean, why?" "I already got a job." "I'll see you." "Miss Cuthbert, save me my special seat, now, cutie!" "Meet you at the hotel." "Did you see Mae's catch, Dad?" "I'd rather see you play ball instead of what you used to do." "What are you saying that for?" "You make her feel bad!" "Steak dinner." "On you." "I'll see you later."
