Quick Summary
Kids discover the hilarious and heartwarming childhood moments of sports legends like Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, and Wilma Rudolph. They'll laugh at young Ali's first boxing match in a basement, cheer for a 7-year-old Babe Ruth hitting home runs, and be inspired by how these giants of sports started as ordinary kids with extraordinary dreams.
