Happy birthday, Babe Didrikson
Winning three track-and-field medals (two of them gold) in the 1932 Olympics, then becoming the leading golfer in the LPGA wasn’t enough for this Renaissance woman — she also cut recordings for Mercury Records and toured the vaudeville circuit. She would be 99 Saturday. How about a Renaissance cocktail?
