Greatest Athlete in History?

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception



Click topic for LINK

Babe Didrikson Zaharias was the wonder girl athlete in an age when female athletes were unknown.

All-American basketballer, track and field gold medallist at the 1932 Olympics, followed by her triumph at winning the most consecutive tournaments in history as a golf phenom - she was a founder of the LPGA.  

A book excerpt at the link on the life of arguably the greatest athlete in history.  A pioneer in all her ways.

She spoke her mind and played not the hypocrite - rubbing people the wrong way was her way and that was good in my view.
