I'll go with Earl Anthony, one of the greatest.
I'll go with Earl Anthony, one of the greatest.
Honestly, this is a hard question to answer.
The title is "Who is the Best Bowler ever" based on what:
Most wins in PBA, ABC, etc.: well that would be Walter Ray Williams or Earl Anthony (different era's & equipment)
Favorite Bowler (colorful personality): Danny Wiesman, Norm Duke, Brian Voss, Ernie Schiegal (sp), Mark Roth and everybody else that has impressed someone.
Longevity (from old school to present day): hands down Pete Weber
That being said my all-time Best bowler was:
John Radigan-my dad. He was the one who taught me how to bowl, was the one I watched the PBA Bowlers Tour on ABC and the Firestone Tournament of Champions. (yeah, I just dated myself)
Favorite Pro: Dick Weber
All pins are POSSESSED, I'm just happy to be able to exorcise the poor dears and put them out of their misery.
It's the least I can do
High Game: 265
High Series: 665
Avg.: 180

I agree,
I also like Henry Gonzalez, partial because I worked with him for a while and got to know him as a person, but his stats and presence on the Senior tour is great.
Rhino is the "It" guy right now. Not poking fun because he does have talent, but what about 5 years from now? With time goes better players, harder conditions and such. To be a TRUE legend in bowling you have to be able to adapt to the ever changing changes that are brought to the game of bowling.
WRW is that guy at this time. I hate to say it as I am not a WRW fan, but he is living proof of what a bowler needs to do to "stay" in bowling. To be able to compete week in and week out is amazing.
Many of the other players in the game bring something to the table. Chris Barnes seems to be an amazing person in general. His character seems to shine through even when bowling. But then many people like Pete Weber for his bad boy attitude. So we all can have favorites, but I really think that how long your trophy case is and the time on tour really displays your a true legend on bowling.

Go Broncos!
