For a 'Mount Rushmore' of bowling I think we should limit it to Bowlers who are no longer active. At the time Borglum was creating his monument, even T.R. had been dead a number of years.

My nominations:

Andy Varipapa; for popularizing the game through his movie shorts and trick shot demonstrations.

Dick Webber; for shaping the image of how a professional bowler should act.

Billy Wehlu ; for both his bowling in the early days of the PBA, and well informed commentary as a broadcaster.

Mark Roth; for popularizing the cranker style of bowling.

I couldn't help myself. When I saw this under new posts I immediately thought of coaches :cool:

Couldn't help but notice that Chris Barnes was not mentioned in the preceding posts. When he comes on TV they act like he is one of the greats. Curious.
