TTG EXTRA -- the biography of Babe Didrikson Zaharias
On June 26, 1911, Mildred Ella Didrikson, later to become known worldwide as Babe Didrikson and after that as Babe Didrikson Zaharias, was born.
To mark the occasion, Truly The GOATs releases this bonus episode, a collection of excerpts from Babe’s autobiography This Life I Have Led, as read by Raechel Wong; these excerpts helped comprise episode 4 of Truly the GOATs, entitled The Other Babe.
The excerpts run chronologically from her early days in AAU basketball in the late 1920s to her domination at the 1932 Olympic trials and Los Angeles Olympics to a golf career which is certainly still among the greatest ever and features a comeback after battling cancer.
It is the story of a truly great 20th century athlete.
Happy birthday, Babe…
