But do the players still do crotch-chops when they bowl a strike?

The kid whose first sport autograph was Earl Anthony would like a word with you.

"Million Dollar Earl" was the first bowler to achieve seven figures of career earnings, plus 43 career titles.

Also, Pete's Dad, Dick, was no slouch either. Together the two of them was who brought bowling into the 70s.

You, sir, just outed yourself as a Lutheran.

I strongly disagree, as I've never made a mayonnaise-based dish for a potluck in my life.

You know too much of our customs, and your knowledge of our most celebrated cultural figures (bowlers) makes you either an honorary Lutheran... or a threat to all of us from Lutherstan.

Don Carter. Carmen Salvino. Mark Roth.

And, to bring things back on topic, Chris Schenkel with Billy Welu or Nelson Burton Jr. on ABC from 1962-97.

My mom would’ve grounded me if I bowled with form like that. 

By the way, ginger is OUR word. Nobody else can use that word. I demand these announcers get fired, or forced to watch all the Ron Howard episodes of Happy Days in one sitting.
