Roller Derby's history stands as a uniquely American twentieth century attraction, from its humble beginnings in the Great Depression as a spinoff of the old walkathons, to the rage of early days of television, and finally as a nationally syndicated and touring phenomenon. For millions of fans, names like Joanie Weston, Ann Calvello, Mike Gammon and Charlie O'Connell rank right up there with the baseball and football heroes of lore.
