Best wishes, Maximum Bob.  You'll be missed...a lot.

Doug Kent is getting set to announce his retirement as well.

Fun to watch. Can't imagine trying to compete on tour when the cost is so high and the pay out is so low.

Maybe it is his last event. Retired from the actual tour as far as week in and week out across the U.S.

I think he has another full time career in the business.

I was lucky enough to meet "Maximum Bob" and enjoyed talking with him. I also wish him all the best in his future plans. However, like many other power players him game didn't really allow him to DOMINATE at the PBA National Tour level. His game is too one-dimensional and is very hard on the body in the long run. I wish him well.

I just wonder how long the PBA will be around. Seems you hear about someone leaving the tour every year.

I suspect these were one of his last things for the PBA. Plus these shows were taped a couple weeks ago.
