Babe Didrikson Zaharias 1911-1956 American golfer Babe Didrikson Zaharias was one of the most versatile and talented athletes of all time; there were few sports she did not play, and she excelled at all those she tried. An Olympic gold medalist and world-record-holder in track and field, Zaharias was also an All-American in basketball, and competed in tennis, baseball, bowling, and most notably golf, ruling over the professional golf circuit in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Zaharias, a tomboy since childhood, also challenged gender stereotypes of her time, refusing to act in traditionally “feminine” modes and proving that women could and should compete widely in sports formerly reserved for men. Mildred Ella Didrikson, known as “Babe” Didrikson and later as Babe Didrikson Zaharias, was born in 1911 in Port Arthur, Texas, the daughter of Norwegian immigrants Ole Didriksen and Hannah Marie Olsen Didricksen. She was the sixth of seven children. Her mother was a former skier and skater, and her father worked as a ship’s carpenter and cabinetmaker. Port Arthur was largely devastated when a hurricane hit the area in 1914, killing 275 people, and the family moved 17 miles inland to the rough south end of Beaumont, Texas to make a new start when Zaharias was four years old. The family was not well-off, and Zaharias, who changed the spelling of her family name from Didriksen to Didrikson so that people would know she was Norwegian, not Swedish (the “-sen” suffix is more common among Swedes; Norwegians favor “-son”), worked various parttime jobs while she was still in school; one of her jobs involved sewing gunny sacks, earning a penny per sack. “To Be the Greatest Athlete That Ever Lived” The young Mildred, often called “Baby” by her family, was active, strong, and competitive, and was interested in sports from an early age, playing with and usually beating her older brothers and the boys in her neighborhood. She learned to run by racing against streetcars. In Z Babe Didrikson Zaharias sandlot ball games, she was a powerhouse hitter and a strong pitcher. She wore her hair short and wore boys’ clothes. In her autobiography, This Life I’ve Led, she wrote, “I played with boys rather than girls. I preferred baseball, football, foot-racing and jumping with the boys, to hop-scotch and jacks and dolls, which were about the only things girls did.” When she hit five home runs in one baseball game, her brothers renamed her “Babe” after famed slugger Babe Ruth; she would keep this nickname for the rest of her life. Early on, she wrote, she decided that her ambition was “to be the greatest athlete that ever lived.” Zaharias’ father encouraged her interest in athletics, and made her a barbell out of a broomstick and two heavy flatirons. Although she did poorly in school, passing only enough subjects to keep her eligible to play on the sports teams, Zaharias made up for it with her accomplish- 1825
