Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Last Monday, the Women's Sports Foundation held the 27th annual Salute to Women in Sports at New York's Waldorf Astoria. Amongst other honorees, Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer was inducted into the International Women's Hall of Fame.

Check out the photos and the Hall of Fame Breakfast and Fashion Show. Before you get all het up, the Fashion Show chronicled the history of the sweatshirt, invented in 1926 by Benjamin Russell, founder of the Russell Manufacturing Company.

During the Salute, it was announced that the Hall of Fame will finally get a home. The WSF will partner with the National Sports Museum to create the Billie Jean King International Women's Sports Center located within the planned National Sports Museum in Lower Manhattan.

September it's the USTA. October it's the Hall of Fame. What does November hold for Billie Jean, getting a state named after her?
