Where Does Rudy Belong?

[Billy Tops]

In his prime, where should Rudy Revs be rated with the top action bowlers of all time.

I do believe he's the only post 1990 action bowler that could make that list. He was born in the wrong era, I would of loved to see him bowling action in the sixties. Could you imagine him vs Iggy.

What would it of been like at Central with Rudy walking in at about 3 am on a Saturday nite.

What kind of classic match's would the two Long Island guys of had against each other. (Rudy vs Lemon)

rudy in the 60s in the ny area , would be like freddie the ox , same type of game but rudy a lot more flambouyant, another would be val macari , also big ball and speed and dominant in brooklyn, stillman was another one in that catagory in brooklyn, however, lemon would have dominated rudy in the 60s and more than held his own on a wall same goes for the other 3 mentioned, of course richie mark joey and ernie would more than dominate in the old days, and you could bet those guys with their savy , would hold their own on any condition. how about the 50 and 100 game home and home matches of the 40s and 50s , now theres a different game, where stammina would go to rudy, but home and home i would like to see, with a round robbin, with all those guys including iggy. try bowling 50 straight games in one night, i did , and in the 60s you didnt always throw 7 to 8 strikes a game , so you threw the ball 17 times a game or 20 times a game vs 12 to 15 times a game i averaged 212 for 64 straight games, in 5 different matches , lost the first match , won the next 4 matches , with leg cramps for the next whole week, and remember i had only one good leg, with the bad one at 20 to 30% where it is today and the good one now only 70 %

Cane, what would you give to be able to go back and live through that great era again, with full knowledge of what would become of action bowling in the future.

Do you think you would appreciate each and every day you walked into the alleys?
