On the telecast, when they showed PDW along side the likes of Dick Weber, Don Carter, WRW, and Earl Anthony, they made mention that he'd HAVE to be included on the Mount Rushmore of bowling. With his exceptional record in majors, coupled with a record number of Regional titles, his name belongs in any discussion for his performance. His lane antics, love 'em or hate 'em, are part of the package. I've had the pleasure of meeting Pete and both of his wives over the past 30 years and I've seen good Pete and bad Pete. He's even used me and a couple of our friends as human shields when he was about to get his ass kicked at Red Carpet Bolero in the late 80's. That being said, it makes him a LOT more like the everyman in bowling. We all know of a great bowler that has an ego the sized of a small third world country but, like Riggs' states, he's transcended just about EVERY change and phase that he sport has offered and stayed at, or very near, the top of the sport.
