Goofs

The Oregon Zephyr train is pulled by a model E-5A diesel-electric, distinctive by its rippled stainless steel side panels. These locomotives were used exclusively by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and its subsidiaries, the Colorado and Southern and the Fort Worth and Denver. None of these railroads ran through Oregon.

When the older Dottie is looking at Jimmy Dugan's photo and bio poster at the museum, the line "Born 1906 - Died 1987" is clearly not there in the wide shot, but instantly appears underneath his bio paragraph in the close-up shot; possibly because they didn't to reveal that he died until the close-up shot.

During the tryout montage scene, we see a group of elderly women complaining on a broadcast on radio station WMGM. However, that station didn't go on the air for the first time until 1948, five years after the movie was set. Furthermore, WMGM was in New York City.

Q

If there are only four teams in the league, how do the Peaches "make the playoffs" before the World Series? Would a pre-Series playoff series imply each team made the playoffs?

A

Continuity error?

Q

Does Dottie intentionally drop the ball in the end? (Spoiler Alert)

A

During a montage of baseball footage of the Peaches, Dottie is shown catching balls by almost any means necessary (In splits, jumping into the dugout, behind her back, and other players running into her). She is capable of catching and hanging on to the ball. In the final play of the world series scene, Dottie has that ball and is ready to tag Kit out. Kit rams her, knocks her over and Dottie drops the ball...winning Kit's team the World Series. Dottie says it's the way the game is played. It is also hinted that she may have done it intentionally based on many small hints during the movie (her talk with her grandsons, and the looks on Dottie's face when Kit is obviously shadowed by her). It is also entirely possible Kit wanted to win so badly she did knock it out of Dottie's hand. Does she drop it intentionally? Maybe yes, maybe no. It's really up to the viewer to decide for themselves.
