Well I don't know any of them, but I'll go with that one guy...I think his name is Pete something, he's got a mustache. He's the most recognizable one to me (yet still I don't know his name).

That was going to be my second choice. I believe it is Weber though. His dad was also a professional bowler.

He does seem to have the best record:

The 20th century is a long time though. How about some of the old timers? Dick Weber?

Have you seen those uberlame commercials of him doing his "I AM P.D.W!!!" celebration "dance"?

But, if I was gonna pick one, I'd have to say Walter Ray Jr. The guy is flat out good.

Parker Bohn (pronounced "bone") the third.

And yes, that is his real name.

It's Earl Anthony. It's not even close. Walter Ray would be close had so many of his victories and other accolades not come in the 21s century.

Perhaps we should have left and right hand categories.

Good bowler. Did he win fifteen touraments or so?

I guess Dave Davis or Petraglia would be the second greatest lefty, with Petraglia fourth?

Anthony from the left and Walter J. or Mark Roth from the right.

Oh, so you consider lefties bowlers?

I bowled awesome tonight for three games, won all my brackets and a high game pot, and my team lost all three games. Then I crapped the bed and shot like a 175 and we won.

/images/graemlins/grin.gif Good one!

Lefties think they are bowlers and we need to keep them happy...
