[Brady22]

RJ --who are the 2 left now?? Walter Ray and who ---Norm Duke??

[TheRhino]

I think he means the guy from the movie "Kingpen"...I can't think of his name.

[BettorsChat]

U, guys actually watch bowling? I watched it very little years ago on ESPN, but couldn't tell you the name of any profesional bowler.

Thats a start ...

You know 40yrs ago there were no computers to play on all day .. and a game of bowling cost .25 .. with pin-spotters

[Brady22]

Spark I cant beleive that you did not name Norm Duke.I grew up with norm in east texas until the 3rd grade he moved off. Went 8 years and never saw him again until one day I was watching Wild World of sports and there he was winning a big PBA event.He was the youngest every to win.(18)He has became one of the fan favorites. I guess I would not watch either if he was not part of it.

[in2wition]

who could forget

Another great bowler from that time was Don Carter

[Geppi]

Another was

Billy Welu (sic?)

[Geppi]

two more

Carmen Salvino
John ny Petraglia

[Spark]

I was naming mostly modern day bowlers but Brady you are correct with storming Norman Duke .. What a hook that guy throws huh??? I just saw him last week on ESPN ... Great working ball .. Hit em thin and watch em spin ... hahaha

****** Petraglia .. Fantastic lefty .. wasn't he the PBA president or something like that .. I know there is a tournament named after him ... I also know he is a Bowling Hall-of-Famer

Earl Anthony

Don't follow it that closely as I would rarely catch Chris Schenkel on 'Wide World of Sports' when I was a kid if I had nothing else to do but do remember the great Earl Anthony. Alive or dead, he has to put up there with the all-time greats of Bowling.
