Each black-and-white historical photograph captures her focused, competitive expression across a different sport. The overall mood is one of pioneering power and focus, underscoring her historic significance as a multi-sport Olympic champion and co-founder of the LPGA. In the top-left panel, she crouches on a golf green holding a club and placing a ball while wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt, trousers, gloves, and a visor. The top-right panel shows her mid-throw during a track and field event, body contorted dynamically in a white team uniform as she launches a javelin across a dirt stadium field. In the bottom-left, she wears a dark basketball jersey labeled "Babe’s" and smiles confidently, poised to pass an old-fashioned leather basketball. The bottom-right panel displays her in a loose-fitting baseball uniform and cap, glove ready, intensely tracking a play on the diamond.

Personally I'd like to see more LPGA events on the major networks. These days the LPGA should be a beacon for the future of golf. KUDOS TO THE LPGA FOR HOLDING IT DOWN while greedy, no talent men abandoned ship!

I feel compelled to re-up this today: There is no scientific data to support transgender bans. The cruelty is the point.

USA TODAY [Dec 27] - LPGA ban of trans women not science-based. Studies compare cis men to cis women or trans athletes to non-athlete cis women. "Trans women athletes are v different from cis male athletes & must be studied as their own cohort." But still too few to study. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬
