"This collection of 90 articles presents portraits of tenpin immortals. Great matches and tournaments are recalled, along with little-known and forgotten stories--the 300 game that took a week to complete, the symphony concert that featured a bowler rolling against pins on stage, the baseball Hall of Famer who won a national bowling championship, and much more"--
Schmidt, a bowling historian, collects 90 of his articles from Bowlers Journal International on the history of the sport.
