Did anyone cry?

I love this movie, but, the telegram scene actually spoils it for me as it wouldn't have happened that way, telegram deliverers would have been trained to be far more tactful, do you really think one would have stood there and said what he did? I know it was meant for effect and it obviously works for some of you, but, I cringe when I see it, it could have been done much better and still had the same effect.

Nurses and Doctors are also trained to be tactful and while most of them are there are some that are just as insensitive as the Western Union man in this.

The telegram guy was a bit over the top, but I can believe there are jerks out there in every form.
Honestly, it was done to make sure that Jimmy was the one to give Betty the telegram and then comfort her. I think it was meant to redeem him for their first encounter, where he tears up the baseball card of her husband's the first time she meets him. He ruins a physical reminder of her husband, but then is able to comfort her and give genuine sympathy after he passes. -

For some reason, I get really emotional during this movie. I tear up at the telegram scene, but I also get happy tears when Kit is waving to the crowd at the end of the last game, and again when Kit and Dottie say goodbye, and again at the very end when the picture of the old people fades into the picture of them as young baseball players, and then fades to the black screen with the dedication. I think the music was a big part of it - the score was brilliant and so moving.

I thought I was the only one who cried at this movie. Ive seen it so many times and I cry each time. The ending gets me, cause they make it seem like Dottie and Kit havent seen each other since that last game

I cry every time, on various scenes.
This is one of the movies that I have to watch with whole bag of tissues.

me too. the telegram scene gets me. the fear on Dotties face, look of dread not knowing who's husband it will be. the scene where she says good-bye to this part of her life as she watches everyone drive away. and as older Dottie when told Evelyn had died.
as stillwell Angel walks away. she has a look of loss. a wistful sad look of remembering
every lost person. also the scene with Marla and her dad. as he pleads for her to be accepted for the team. and when she says good-bye to him at the station.
and last but not least the song 'This used to be my playground' heartbreaking ballad.
again more loss and remembering the best and happiest times in ones life.
great movie that is also very sad. -

Seen this movie a dozen times and still cry every time. The telegram scene starts it, then when Bob returns, the Kit & Dottie farewell scene after Dottie's team loses, and basically the last 10-15min at the reunion I'm bawling.
