Those of you who bowl may have never seen this done- a conversion of the 7-10  "split" in bowling.

I saw it done. If you watch this clip you'll see how lucky I was- on national TV.

This PBA event was held in Sunrise, Florida in 1991 at Don Carter's (bowling Hall-of-Famer) Center. Don was a friend of mine (we did a lot of fund raising for abused kids) and I called him the day of the tournament to see if he could scrounge up a ticket. I'd wanted to watch a pro final since I started watching bowling on TV as a kid.

I met Don and he said "follow me". We kept stepping over TV cables and ducking ABC cameras until we got to the front of the grandstand. I thought he had arranged a front row seat but he did better than that- he sat me between the competing bowlers behind the ball return!

And then the unbelievable happened! Watch this all the way to the end- and then have yourself a great weekend! Go to Bama Lanes and roll yourself a 300!
