Billie Jean King named grand marshal for the 136th Rose Parade on Jan. 1
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) â Tennis great Billie Jean King will preside over the 136th Rose Parade as grand marshal next year. King, who turns 81 next month, was introduced Monday in a shower of confetti on the lawn of Tournament House as âPhiladelphia Freedom,â the hit song Elton John wrote for her, blared. âIâm still kicking,â she said, smiling. King will ride the 5 1/2-mile route through the streets of Pasadena on Jan. 1 and be part of the coin flip for the 111th Rose Bowl football game later that day.
