Avenging Bobby Riggs

I'm not sure I've got all of the details of this story exactly right but someone will let me know if I don't.

Through her charity work, Sheryl Crow arranged for her daddy, Wendell, to play tennis with Billie Jean King. I believe this took place the day after the U. S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium ("when we finally were successful in getting that Roger Federer guy off the court.").

While chatting with Wendell last weekend on our visit to Kennett, I said I'd heard about the event and hoped there were photos. Thanks to Wendell's daughter Kathy, there are. And Wendell gave me permission to share them here.

A nice one of Sheryl, Ms. King and her pop; a very nice family shot; and --my favorite-- Wendell preparing to serve a ball to the back of Billie Jean King's head (not really).
