Didrikson Vs. Didrickson Spelling
 
Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>Anyone know why Babe Didrickson/Didrikson's name is spelled differently all over the internet (including her 1933 Goudey Sport Kings card)? It seems that the spellings are almost interchangable. Anyone know if there is a story behind this or which way she spelled her own name?

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>According to wikipedia, "her surname was changed to reflect the Norwegian spelling of her name instead of the Swedish spelling."

Posted By: <b>Andrew</b><p>Besides the '33 SK, there's another Babe D. card that I find very appealing, I saw it at last year's National, but don't remember the issue. Anyone have any Babe D. scans?<br><br>"Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame." -- Erica Jong
