At the 1932 Olympics, she set world records in 80m hurdles (11.7s) & javelin, & tied a record in high jump, becoming the only athlete to win individual medals in separate throwing, running & jumping events. Her 1931 80m hurdles record stood for 18 years. #antiquesroadshow @roadshowpbs.bsky.social

Babe Didrikson Zaharias once said she’d do everything from "performing trick shots to playing the harmonica" just to get people to watch women's golf. You can listen to her playing the harmonica hereπŸŽ·β›³οΈ#antiquesroadshow @roadshowpbs.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jvv...

In 1950, Babe co-founded the LPGA. She didn’t just play; she was the President, the head of marketing, and the main gate attraction. Without her "star power" and relentless promotion, women's professional golf might not have survived its early years. #antiquesroadshow @roadshowpbs.bsky.social

Fernando Mendoza and Indiana win it all by betting on themselves one more time Indiana's star quarterback put the cherry on top of the stunning season that wouldn't have been possible without him.

That fourth-down run will live forever in framed photos and on T-shirts. It’s now the most legendary play in Hoosier football history.
