Andy also won the All-Star (now US Open) at 57 years old when it was a 100 game format. Then he repeated at age 58... and damn-near 3-peated at age 59 with a runner-up!

@glenngerstner8862 Жыл бұрын

And he finished third the year before he won. So he went 3rd 1st 1st 2nd in what is now the US Open. At age 69 he won $9000 throwing 6 in a row on Jackpot Bowling and at 79 was named to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness. He was the man!

We had a bowling alley growing up. Built in the 50's so all of this feels very familiar. We used to turn a few lanes on and goof around all the time. Today the alley is gone. A damn McDonalds sits there now.

Damn, I assumed this was a a fake or some sort of attempt to make a modern video+cgi look like it was from the 40s Nope, 100% real and the guy's backstory is pretty cool too! He learned to bowl lefty when he was old and his right hand was giving him issue and also played other sports pretty well including a go at boxing. I did wonder how many takes some of those took (I've seen trick shot experts in pool sometimes take multiple goes to get it right) but he did this stuff in exhibitions regularly and film was too expensive to waste hundreds of yards of it on multiple takes.

Maybe in your mind, but I've seen color reels 40 minutes long in 1936. That's a two in one for you, both longer film than you ought to have thought, and color, not colorized video. Not to mention, this idea of that, isn't even to begin on the topic. And yes, right now this is me writing trying to remember what I was going to say next, damn it sucks to have memory loss at random times.
