[edit] Babe Didrikson
Mildred Ella “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias Fun Facts• Her high school team was Miss Royal Purples • Babe never went to collage • Babe did basketball, baseball, track and field, and she did diving • Babe boasted a lot in a way that in a young male athlete it would have been considered healthy and natural, in a young female athlete in the 1930’s she was expected to be modest and sedate • In High School “Red” Reynolds, the star halfback on the football team, challenged her to “Go ahead, hit me as hard as you can, you can’t hurt me!” Babe took one swing and Red dropped to the floor. For the rest of his life Red bragged about how he’d been knocked senseless by the famous Babe Didrikson. • Colonel Melvin Jackson McCombs found Babe for the Cyclones at Houston Heights High in Houston, Texas in the year 1930 • Babe’s husband was born to the Theodore Vetoyanis (1908 - 1984), but was known better later by his ring name, the name he used in wrestling, George Zaharias. If not for the name change Babe would be Mildred Ella “Babe” Didrikson Vetoyanis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.19.84.149 (talk) 22:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
