Johnny Petraglia has decided to call it a career on the PBA. Earlier tonight, the PBA posted video of his last ever shot in a PBA competition.

I'm sure we can agree that Johnny is one of the best this sport has ever seen. Also, nobody can deny how he has been a great ambassador to the sport throughout his career. The PBA will miss him but we'll always have the great things to look back at.

Another great one retires.

What a player over six decades. One of the best!

Yep a true legend whose excellent name alone sold a whole lot of bowling balls.

Can someone who is watching the PTQ or the Qualifying rounds of the TOC answer this question?

Is Carmen Salvino bowling in it? I know he bowled a couple of tournaments a couple of years ago (may have been the TOC, or the Masters). If so, I think that with Petraglia retiring, Carmen may be the last one of the old guard still bowling.

Yes, technically I know that Carmen retired years ago, but if he actively participated in a tournament, I wouldn't call that "retired".

Salvino received a commissioner's exemption to bowl in the Go Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic, to be held Feb. 13-18, 2018 in Indianapolis. This will make him the oldest player (age 84) to ever participate in a standard PBA Tour event.

Petraglia will still be bowling PBA Senior Tour, he's not hanging them up yet. This will be his last PBA TOC in his career.
