Co-hosts Nathan and Martin welcome Annie Meyers Drysdale to the show, a true sports legend. Annie is a Hall of Fame athlete, broadcaster, and trailblazer who has left an indelible mark on basketball and beyond. She was the first woman to earn a four-year college athletic scholarship, and the first woman to sign an NBA contract, in 1979 with the Indiana Pacers. Annie tells stories about her professional career, talks about what motivated her to pursue groundbreaking opportunities, the status of women's sports in the U.S., and much more. The three also discuss Ali Haehnel's Steel Sports Beyond the Game blog article focused on pioneer and Dodgers minority owner Billie Jean King's profound impact over the years, and Annie discusses how much of an influence Billie Jean had and still has on her life.
