For bowling column purposes, I'm attempting to find our what pin a local bowler (Gary Krowka) left on the final ball of his 299 game a few nights ago, and no one seems to know. Apparently, few pay much attention to high scores anymore.
I have two Facebook friends who bowled on the same pair with Krowka, and neither recall what pin he left, and likewise, I have four Facebook friends that bowled on an adjacent pair. Two of them haven't responded, but the other two don't recall, either.
I contacted the manager of the lanes, asking the following: Do you know (or are you able to find out) what pin Gary Krowka left in his 299 game in the Tuesday Men's League?
His first response was as follows: Hmmm, no, the front counter girl has no idea that anyone shot 299. John Pitzer left a 10 pin for 299 3 weeks ago.
So I sent him a copy of the league standings sheet, and he replied: She didn't get a request to announce it or hear about it. I would guess 6 or 7 pin for a lefty. I will see him Sunday morning.
Is a 299 game a "ho-hum" affair in today's high-scoring era?
