This weekend the PBA is testing string pins at a PBA50 Regional tournament at Lehigh Lanes in Lehigh Acres, FL. Most of the pros will be bowling in the PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open the next day at Maple Lanes Countryside in Clearwater so we’ll be able to get some immediate feedback.

Happy New Year to all, and I have exciting news to share. The only biography ever written on the life of Andy Varipapa will become available on March 15, 2024. Titled “Andy Varipapa: Bowling’s First Superstar” and written by Glenn Gerstner will be available in both softcover and Kindle.
The book covers Andy’s entire life, from his birth in Italy in 1891; to his arrival on Ellis Island in 1903; his early accomplishments in the 1930’s, including filming his famous trick shots in Hollywood; his back-to-back All-Star (now U.S. Open) Championships in 1946 & 1947; induction to the USBC Hall of Fame in 1957, and much more.
Below is the link to the Facebook Fan Page for Andy’s biography. Please share with your friends, and feel free to send me your comments.
Andy Varipapa: Bowling’s First Superstar
The book is now online for pre-order at major online sites and I’m looking forward to seeing it on display in the bookstores.
