quote:
I'd also bought one of Cart­er's charity-sale bowling balls and figured I might slip in a question or two about my own game. So I emailed him.

After a couple of exchanges, Jeff responded with, "It's proba­bly easier to call me about it. Here's my cell phone number."

Excuse me?

Actually call the guy? This would be like the kid who caught "Mean Joe" Greene's jer­sey in the iconic Coca-Cola com­mercial calling him the next day to ask his advice on how to wash it.



Classic,

Veery good article.

Kudos Jess. I just find it amazing how many lives Jeff has touched in this sport. If only, and I know its just a pipe dream, other athletes would take notice. Nice guys do finish first sometimes!

Thanks to all of you for the compliments. I didn't know how it would go over when I first wrote it.

Side note, I was out covering another story tonight (tornadoes are coming through here this evening) and someone stopped me to ask me about this story and get some background on Jeff, so I just referred them to his site. I'm just glad to be able to do something to help the promote the sport.
