Ohio Man Bowls 900, Who Has Done It In The Past? [Bowling]

Matt Latarski, from Medina, Ohio, became just the 17th person to bowl a 900 score – three consecutive perfect 300 games. 

I’m not sure what’s more amazing: bowling a 900 score, or that 17 other people have done it before. 

Anyone who’s ever joined a bowling league dreams of getting their name on the Perfect 300 billboard.  They usually win a cool prize, too.  Can you even fathom getting three 300 games in a row? 

Amazingly, one person, Robert Mushtare, has done it twice.  As a teenager.

I didn’t hear about the man in New York, Bill Howell, who did it last month.  Incredible video footage of him nailing the last three strikes can be seen below.  You gotta love the two dudes who are his buddies hugging each other after the last strike.  When was the last time you did something that made your friends hug?  (Sans inebriants…)

What’s your favorite bowling movie?  Kingpin or The Great Lebowski?
