I remember watching Arnold Palmer on television with my Dad and my brothers when I was a little girl. I learned my appreciation for sports and those who become masters from them, I guess. Arnie was so much fun to watch - he was the first really huge sports celebrity, thanks to television coverage of his sport and his personality. He had legions of followers on and off the golf course. In this clip, he tells the story of how his favorite beverage, a mixture of iced tea and lemonade, came to be called an Arnold Palmer, after a fan heard him order the combination in a restaurant. RIP to one of the greats.
