A league of their own as text posts because I got bored 28

First one with no JessLupe D:

“Max Chapman has been un-hittable today”

Max is watching the men’s baseball game “the Screws” writing in her notebook. Carson is also the only character (besides Clances sketch book) that takes notes on baseball.

Dove Porter follows up in another scene by saying: “Now the first things pitcher has to learn is how to look into someone eye and how to read them. Are they scared? Are they thinking about their girlfriend?” (Carson shakes her head in the background, which can be foreshadowing to Greta or…)

We just came off a scene with Max and the peaches are now getting coached my a former pitcher. Carson says in a later episode that “Max is the best pitcher she’s ever played with”, which includes Dove because he had to pitch to her and she hit it.

When Carson is dragged by Max to a childhood baseball field (connected to her father), that Carson’s asks about. Carson also asked, “Why did you choose me?”. I think this reason would’ve been explored more in later seasons but Max just gives a vague answer about herself. “I just wanted to see if I could do it.”

There is a shot of 2 peaches playing/having a catch in the front yard. One is wearing a dress….the other is wearing pants. And they both have the same matching color schemes. The words “Carson. Telephone” is on V.O…foreshadowing?????

Shirley talks to Carson in the middle of the night and Carson tells her that she “feels like she’s supposed to be there” and the same day she by chance runs into Max. She’s the reason that Max is able to get her crabs for Clance so that Clance can “make a home and make it special”.

On the window it says there’s a sale on “crabs and peaches”.

Clance pointing out the Rockford peaches sign to Max and her trying not to look at it or be upset by it.

Also, Carson saying that she feels like she’s supposed to be in Max’s hometown on a team that Max felt like she was meant to be on. But their circumstances and reality kept them apart.

Greta saying “when she really wants something it never really goes right” and Carson says she understands. In 1x06, when Max comes back Carson admits she didn’t think she was ever going to see max again and starts to overcompensate.

I wrote the concept for this fic in like 2022, and I've finally started it. Chapter One is up. Give it a read if you dont mind and let me know how bad it is lol
