 Re: Action Bowler's Hall Of Fame Nominations

I would like to nominate Harry the Horse for the Action Bowlers HOF. From around 1960 to about 1965 he held his own against every top action bowler in the Bronx, and the Bronx had a lot of great ones. The thing about the Horse was that no one ever saw him shoot a bad game. The only way to beat him was to shoot sky high numbers. Guys would take him on, but even when they did, they usually acted like they wished they were somewhere else, because they knew he wasn't going to beat himself. There wasn't much he didn't know about bowling, and he would rattle his opponent by giving the guy advice about the guy's line, etc. Like "on twelve, move two boards to the right and speed up your delivery a little." That was funny enough, but the really funny part about that was that he would actually give the guy good advice, because he always knew what someone was doing wrong, but his opponent would never take his advice, and the Horse knew the guy wouldn't, so he would just give it, and watch the other guy screw up by not listening to him. He was funny as hell, and a great bowler.
