    “I got to see the ‘heyday’ of bowling, in the late 70’s. There were a lot more average Americans who knew who the star bowlers were. Back when there were 3 channels to watch on Saturday afternoon, bowling did very well.

Yep. That was Saturday afternoon: bowling followed by Hee Haw.

It was enough to make you work on cars all day.

Hah, I could imagine. It's definitely not the most exciting sport to watch, unless you really know what's going on, which most people don't.
