EARL ANTHONY
Color publicity photo of Bowling Hall of Famer - white shirt and
"pink" ball!
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Eddie &/Betty,/All my
best,/Earl Anthony", facsimile signature at left. Color, 8x10. Nicknamed
"Square Earl" by his fellow bowlers because of his crew cut and glasses,
ANTHONY (1938-2001) had aspirations to play major league baseball as a
left-handed pitcher, but an ankle injury destroyed his hopes. He then took up
bowling and within a short time Anthony was the best bowler on the pro tour.
He earned $107,585 in 1975, becoming the first to win more than $100,000 in a
season. Anthony was named bowler of the year from 1974 through 1976 and from
1981 through 1983. He led the PBA tour in scoring from 1973 through 1975, in
1980 and in 1983. Anthony retired temporarily in 1984 with records of
$1,216,421 in career winnings and 41 tour victories. Although his 41 wins is
still the record, he now ranks fourth in career earnings because prize money has
increased so much since his peak years. He is a member of both the PBA and
ABC Halls of Fame. Surface scratches - not affecting signature. Otherwise,
fine condition.
