EARL ANTHONY
Color publicity photo of Bowling Hall of Famer - wearing wrist
support and holding his ball!
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Tony,/Best of luck, Earl
Anthony". Color, 8½x11. 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. Fine
condition.
