A funny thing happened tonight
« on: February 24, 2004, 09:21:25 AM »
A guy on the pair next to us leaves the 4-6-7-10. He throws the ball really hard - especially when he's not happy. He wings that baby down the lane at around 30 MPH - picks off the 10, which bounces out of the pit, and gets the 7. The 4 and 6 were standing there as pretty as you please!

I've heard of this happening, but I've never actually seen it.

One of my buddies did this the last time the ABC was in Reno.  I think he has the famous shot on tape, too

I once kicked out the 6-8 only on a full rack.  Everybody did a double take.  Of course you still have to miss your boards by about 25 to the right.
