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.
