Mildred Ella (Babe) Didrikson Zaharias, was born on June 26, 1911, in Port Arthur, Texas
Babe Zaharias was born Mildred Didriksen (her surname was later accidentally changed) in the oil town of Port Arthur, Texas, and acquired the nickname "Babe" (after Babe Ruth) after she hit five home runs in a single baseball game. Both of her parents were immigrants from Norway.
Zaharias gained world fame in track and field and All-American status in basketball. She also mastered tennis, played organized baseball and softball and was an expert diver, roller-skater and bowler. She won two gold medals and one silver medal for track and field in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.

How about anyone who has ever won the Decathlon (includes those three sports and seven others)?
