Just saw an interesting set of numbers
Careet PBA average
Earl Anthony 216.3
WRW 218.07
Considering the state of the game then and now, can we conclude anything from just these numbers alone?
Softer conditions then (?) + less technologically advanced equipment
vs. tougher (?) conditions today + a myriad of technological choices of equipment.
I'm tempted to say that I think the numbers suggest Earl was a better player, given that he had virtually no options with equipment and I'm not at all willing to concede that conditions were easier then (remember, lane dressing then was predominantly done with a sprayer bottle). But I'm not sure about that. Anyone want to chime in on this?
