Id say Billy Oatman! He is the only African American on tour! lol

FOS sucks....
Storm is what blows the pins out of the way!

For the record, the last completely dominating, game changing athlete was...Michael Jordan.  A generation ahead of Tiger.

Hockey hasn't had one since Gretzky.

Baseball hasn't had one since probably Mantle or DiMaggio or Ryan.

Football hasn't had one since probably Jim Brown.

Tennis has one in Federer, but in bracket tournaments as was pointed out he only faces one person at a time, not everyone all at once.

Bowling could have one, there's nothing keeping it from happening.  The real question is, who's going to be the one that eventually does it?  Who's going to be the one that combines WRW's dominance with Barnes' consistancy, Tiger's type of mentality and Page's charisma.  In some ways the PBA is trying to market Rash as that person, but he won't be unless he matures very quickly so as to have the mental toughness of a Tiger Woods to really break through like that.

Barnes is too old though.  To be considered "bowling's Tiger" one would need to come in and completely dominate at a young age the way Tiger did, then keep it up throughout his entire career the way Tiger is.  Barnes is probably more like "bowling's Clemens," very good and very consistant, but not enough titles to be completely dominant.  Page or Rash could potentially do it, Rash has won 2 titles (if I remember right) already and Page has made 5 shows, but Rash hasn't made enough shows and Page hasn't won enough of his shows.

Both would need to overcome another hurdle to start to run away from everyone else, but it hasn't happened to this point.  It might within the next year or two, but as of yet it hasn't.
