Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ann Meyers Drysdale is still the only woman ever to sign a no cut contract with the NBA. Time Magazine recently called her one of "The Top Ten Female Sports Pioneers of All Time." The first 4-time All American ever, man or woman; Ann won a silver medal in the '76 Olympics before bringing UCLA women their one and only Championship. The only woman ever invited to compete in ABC's Men's Superstars, today Ann is the only female VP on the only operation side of the NBA and an award-wining broadcaster who has worked for over thirty years with nearly every major television network But her meteoric rise wasn't without controversy. The press skewered her '79 NBA Pacers bid, while the first Professional Women's Basketball League accused her of "shamming herself" and slighting her sisters. Ann simply wanted to play basketball. And she wanted to play with the best. The first girl to play in an all-boy after school sports program, Ann later tried out for the boy's high school basketball team while parents screamed, "You're letting some girl beat you?" and classmates questioned her sexuality; but Ann refused to be held down. From becoming the first female to get a full athletic scholarship to a Division I school, to her historic NBA bid, Ann's memoris never let up, yet her athletic career is only half the story. She would endure the loss of a brother and a sister, and the untimely death of the only man she ever loved, Dodger great, Don Drysdale, leaving her with three young children to raise. Still, through it all, she continued to break ground. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Annie was one of the best players ever. I didn't say male or female; I said ever."—Bill Russell, former Boston Celtics player Ann Meyers Drysdale is one of the greatest stars in the history of basketball. But her rise wasn't without controversy. Her 1979 NBA bid to play with the Indiana Pacers brought a barrage of criticism. But Ann simply wanted to play among the best. She had always competed with the guys, and she never let anyone keep her down. In You Let Some Girl Beat You? she shares her inspirational story for the first time. A female first in many categories, Meyers Drysdale was the first woman ever signed to a four-year athletic scholarship to UCLA, where she remains the only four-time Bruin basketball All American, male or female. Ann was also the only woman ever asked to compete in ABC Sports' Superstars, pitting her against elite athletes like Mark Spitz, Joe Frazier, O.J. Simpson, and Mark Gastineau. After her athletic career Ann Meyers Drysdale went on to do color commentary on all the national stations. She also married Don Drysdale, legendary pitcher and announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, making them the first ever married couple enshrined in their respective sport's Hall of Fame. Today Ann continues to break through barriers. She is the only female vice president in the NBA (she is vice president of the Phoenix Suns), and is also the general manager of the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, which has won two WNBA championships since she took over four years ago. The New York Times featured her prominently in a piece in August 2011 called "Pioneers Continue to Shepherd Women's Basketball." Time magazine recently named her one of the ten greatest female athletes of all time.
