I was on a long trip last week when I started thinking about the game... where it's taken me, the equipment I've thrown and the people I've met.
When I started thinking about my history with Track and their equipment, I asked myself "Why do I really like Track?" It's not the incredible equipment or the scores that I've accomplished with it. It's not shirts or bags. It's about FAMILY...The Legion.
When a bowler buys a Track piece they aren't just getting a bowling ball. They become a new member of a family. They are welcomed to this family with open arms regardless of race, color or creed. They are accepted no matter what their ability or skill level may be.
I have made countless friends through The Legion over the years. I'm not talking about somebody who occasionally shoots you an e-mail. I'm talking about close friends. People you can rely on and people who know that they can rely on you.
When I had my accident, some of the first phone calls, cards and e-mails that I received were from Legion members. For that I will be eternally grateful. I didn't receive the support just because I bought a ball or was on staff. I received the support because I'm part of a family.
Some of the family strayed after the purchase by Ebonite. The Legion will be here to welcome them back when they are ready to return. I strayed from Track a few years ago to try another label. It was a label that also claimed to have a "family". It's not even close to what we have here. Let me tell ya guys (and girls) we have something special in The Legion.
To Fig and the rest of the gang in Hoptown...
There has been lots of talk about what has and hasn't been done since the Ebonite deal. Through it all, good, bad or indifferent, The Legion still stands strong. We will continue to stand behind the label through thick and thin.
The hardest part is over. The first year had a rough spot or two, but Track still managed to get four great pieces out. These four pieces are the building blocks to the future. Good luck to the crew in KY. I think now is the time that the Track family will truely rise to the top.
