Bowling Legend Don Carter Passes Away

[The Mayor]

R.I.P. Mr. Carter. You will be greatly missed. My condolences to the Carter family. Today we have lost one of the greatest to ever throw a ball down a lane. If you hear louder thunder from now on, you know it's because Don is up there rolling some big games.

RIP

I was just watching some highlights of his yesterday. Such a strange back swing and release. Amazing bowler.

Agreed - with a bent elbow like that through the swing, it's a testament to his skill that he was able to repeat shots. By most accounts, he was a pretty cool guy off the lanes with the fans, a real ambassador of the game. The Miller Lite commercials way back when were sweet

Here's to hoping he's throwing back some Lite's at the perfect lanes right now.
