Also at the Hall of Fame is the Traveling Red Heads limo. \u00a0The All American Red Heads played for 50 years from 1936-1986, which is still the longest running women\u2019s professional team.\u00a0C.M. Olson was the former coach\/owner of a male exhibition basketball team called Olson\u2019s Terrible Swedes. Known for their on-court antics, this inspired C.M. Olson\u2019s wife, Doyle, and the women who worked in her beauty salons to form a women\u2019s professional exhibition team, thus the traveling Red Heads were born.<\/p>\n
