dmbjeff Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hey all, tonight I stopped by the St. Charles Bowling alley in St. Charles(I normally bowl in DeKalb) and first thing I see in the pro shop is a White Sox WS Champs bowling ball. I go nuts, I think it's amazing. So, I head into the pro shop and the guy tells me, yeah, these are limited edition and only 500 were made. They then told me that they were lucky enough to recieve 60 of them. So I waste no time and pull out my money and order one right there on the spot. It's made by Brunswick and its a "Viz-a Ball",i.e. plastic, wont hook for a damn, just good for throwing at spares and what not. I then put in a google search for the ball and only came up with a Daily Southtown article http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsindex/18-ds3.htm on it that says another location also had these as well. So I just wanted to share my awesome find and if anyone else out there on SoxTalk bowls or just wants to get a ball to put up over their bar or mantle, check it out.

Drew Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Damn, St. Charles Bowl?!? I grew up in St. Charles. I'm actually here right now, flying back to LA tomorrow. I think I had at least one birthday party there, and attended more than a few. Talk about a blast from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that f***in pin. I either go in the gutter or hook by it. I probably get it 2 out of 10 times. It's the biggest fault in my game. That is a sweet looking ball. Where is the pic from?

Steff Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have the plain Sox one - with Comiskey Park on it - and it's a straight ball so picking up the 7 or 10 is easy of you can throw without a hook. I've had mine for 3 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
