I'm not going to click through 60+ slides to find out who is #1.....but IMO, it's Earl Anthony and then everyone else.

Yea, my dad liked him. Was he not a grocery-store bagger then went over to practice bowling on his lunch hour??

Pete Webber also was a very good one.

Yes, I believe so.

I love Pete Weber for his personality. I'd imagine a lot of lists will have Walter Ray as #1, but IMO, Anthony is much better because of the level of competition he faced while using "dead" bowling balls.

Pete’s father Dick Weber (also Hall of Famer) once subbed on my team in our Monday night Bowling League.

Dick and my father-in-law were original founding members of the PBA and often roomed together on tour.

'fair' is this guy really you sir? PSUKnocker said it was!! Nice follow through sir! I ,mean that.

That machine is a computer generated fake. Here is a real one called EARL:

 
I have to go with Earl Anthony 0r Dick Weber. Old enough to remember when Pro Bowlers Tour was a Saturday staple of sports tv.

Ahhhh, memories. Grew up in a “bowling” family (whatever that is). We used to head out to Cleveland for the Firestone Open to see Earl Anthony, Weber, etc. Anthony is best I ever saw and, as thepennsyoracle pointed out, that was in the “dead” ball era. Always get funny looks when someone asks what sports I participated in in school and I reply Football, Baseball and Bowling.
