I agree, njgill. The reason this scene makes me cry is that Helen is so kind and compassionate in that moment to Shirley, when she is looking so lost, and then the happy news that she made the team! I feel touched by Helen's kindness and Shirley's relief and happiness, and these are what bring the tears on for me.

Yep, I cried a couple of times at the scenes that other people have mentioned here. I even teared up watching the real ladies play a game during the end credits.
It seems like a comedy, but this movie packs an emotional wallop, especially in its final half. I can't really say it's any particular scene that does this. It's more the overall tone of nostalgia/melancholy that slowly and honestly develops. It's a better movie than most people give it credit for. -

I cried a lot during this movie. The telegram scene is the most heart wrenching and especially when Dottie is crying too. But does anyone else tear up at the end when they are playing the World Series and Kits beats herself up after she allow Dottie to score a run? That whole World Series scene is intense. And coming from having competitive sisters who are better than you, i really get her frustration. It tears me up when Dottie also sees Kit breaking down before the bottom of the 9th. But i also get happy tears because Kit hellbent on finally beating her sister and on the 2nd strike, the look she gives Dottie just radiates her determination to finally come frim Dotties shadow, and she sees that her big sister using her weakness against her. I love this movie so much. The cast is great the acting is great the story is amazing and the music score is beautiful. Amazing movie

When Dottie watches Kit with all the Racine Belles, and she gets on the bus. It is the last time they are sisters.
I don't feel that much about Stillwell at the end, because he just seems like a big Mama's Boy. So that ruins the sentiment for me.
And when Kit approaches Dottie at the end in the Hall of Fame, and they pose for the picture, and the original picture from decades ago is shown, with the music.
Gee Woodle, Space Kadoodle!
I thought it was Shirley Baker
