For those of you that dont know...

Billy Hardwick was THE Michael Jordan of bowling signing a 1000000 dollar contract for endorsements.... He made bowling what it was in the 60's....  a great man was snubbed by the pba who failed ot mention he made a special trip to attend the trials and make an appearance but mentioned the nobody Curtis Odom and the HOFer Mike Aulby... Billy was better than both those 2 combined...  

This would be like MLB snubbing Willie Mays... sad day
