Other mistake: The older Dottie Hinson in the beginning of the movie has blue eyes and Geena Davis (young Dottie) has brown eyes.
Other mistake: When Helen Haley is helping Shirley Baker find her name on the team rosters, she finds her on the first list on the board. That list is the roster for the Racine Belies, not the Rockford Peaches.
Other mistake: The first time Kit is up to bat in the opening, she gets two strikes but holds on the third. Which is technically a ball that should have saved her. Yet gets called on a third strike.
Suggested correction: The 3rd pitch wasn't technically a ball. It was called a strike by the ump, so it was technically a strike. Not to mention it was down the middle and not even a missed call.
Guess the rules differed then for baseball, because technically Kit did a ball NOT a strike. Which I realise the ump or ref could have called either way. But fairly should have been a legal ball. And just because an ump or ref calls something, doesn't make it bank nor fair. They've made calls in games before, that were not what they claim. And her bat barely moved an inch. So, yes, it should have been a ball.
Balls and strikes do not depend on if the batter swings at the ball, it depends on where the baseball crosses home plate. The pitch Kit did not swing at was in what is known as the "strike zone" meaning whether she swung or not, it was technically a strike.
I'm just curious what makes you think it was a ball?
