93 years of bowling

An Indiana man says he's been bowling for the past 93 years, ever since he was seven years old. He has a 151 average, which would be a killer score in my league. I think my average is around 120. Actually, the bowling league just ended.

We were in the playoffs, but lost our first game by a measly 12 pins. The team that won the championship was a team that we beat two games to zip last week. In our second game last night (ostensibly for third place), we got to play our favourite team, Captain Drunkard and the Scurvy Dogs, so none of us were really concentrating on our bowling. I even got out a six-pound ball for a few frames (I typically use a fourteen or a twelve). The finger holes were so small that I had to put my index finger in the thumb hole and my pinky finger in one of the two finger holes.

The 100-year old Indianan says he recently switched from a sixteen-pounder to a twelve so he doesn't get tired. He attributes his longeivity and health to bowling and clean living. "I try to not act too old."

If he had been on our team, we would've won the championship!
