We won the league championship one year by 7 pins and I was lead off and threw the last 8 strikes. Their anchor guy needed a spare to win but left a split in the tenth. This one loudmouth on their team says afterwards "Yeah, Dave lost it for us". The loudmouth was the ONLY bowler on their team to bowl UNDER his average.

So my team was unsure as to who would be able to come back the following season and they were supposed to let me know. I hadn't heard anything so I just showed up the first week. They had REPLACED me with one of their buddies but he didn't show up the first week. The team captain said I could bowl but they couldn't guarantee me a spot because the other guy was supposed to bowl full time. He said that I was supposed to have contacted him before the start of the season if I was going to bowl. I already told him at the end of the last season that I could bowl.

So screw them, I switched teams. Their buddy showed up maybe once and then they bowled short for a long time. I liked the guys on my new team and bowled with them for several more years.
