My old golf pro Helen Walters from San Leandro, California told me that she saw her in person and spoke briefly to her during a tournament at the Oakland Hills golf course in California. Helen was 85 when she told me this and I was still teaching. Now I’m 80 and still honor and am in awe of “The Babe’s” achievements as was my old golf mentor. Women sportspersons know the pain and work it takes to accomplish small things in sports, but this woman Didrickson was truly an Amazon in all sports. Let’s hope she is taught in history and “Herstory” classes in the future. She deserves to be placed in the baseball, golf, and Olympic halls of fame along with the rest of the Champions of the past, ALL MEN!
I certainly appreceated this article on Babe Didrickson, hopefully we see and hear more of this great, brave athlete who played through pain and illness to become the greatest single athlete of all time.
