Mike Aleshire, who has nearly 70 certified perfect games in the books, is now apparently attempting to match Kent Wagner's feat of rolling every score from 290 to 300.

On his Facebook timeline, Aleshire has posted the following, and I quote: So since there is only one 300 per life time now I'm going to try and bowl every score from 290 - 300.

Last Monday night, however, he rolled 11 in a row before rolling a gutter ball in an attempt to roll a 291. His failed attempt is mentioned in this bowling column ...

well it is his score isn't it? He can do anything he wants with the 12th shot.

No one freaks out when a guy that averages 180 does nothing to improve his game. A Pro will take out a different ball and try another line once he has a match locked up.

While I don't full agree with it, getting 1 pin off a full rack is a lot harder then throwing a strike. Not much pressure involved when you have that many 300's

The fact that a guy has 70+ 300s and can't pluck a single pin out of a full rack pretty much sums up the state of the game.

Clearly he is protesting the 1 300 rule!  State of the game maybe should be retitled state of the rules.  Or should be restated the state of the Economy or the economics of this rule.

I once saw a power area bowler with many 300s go for 292.  It sickened me and made me realize how much I craved his power.  But my the pins could fly for this guy!  They loved to jump off the alley so 300s were easy when the shot was right!

Keep up the great bowling at age 80....impressive!

I'm pretty sure he is speaking to the tone of the future, as to when his career in bowling is over that he gave it the best on every shot.

I think when people start deliberately throwing off for a lower score than 300, it shows that the perfect game has lost most of its value. It used to mean something but now the scoring levels make honor scores ho-hum.

The first one probably still means something to people, it did to me. But lets face it 70+ he can't wear that many rings.

When people start throwing for a one count BEFORE they shot a 300 then we got problems.

 Overall though I just hear old Mighty Fish trying to make something out of nothing again. Turn everything he hears involving the USBC into something Negative, never gives options to make the situation better.
