As far as I’m concerned, I could’ve retired after writing this piece. What a way to go out, right? This story about Billie Jean King and her little purple racket ran in Clay & Felt magazine distributed nationwide at Wilson retail locations. Below you can read all about how she fell in love with the game when she was gifted her very first Wilson racquet. If you’re curious, she had “no notes” after reading the piece.
