Over the past 60 years there have been so many memorable moments in Professional Bowlers Association history that it can be hard to even come up with a list, let alone rank them. But that’s exactly what a panel of PBA historians, veteran bowling writers and long-time PBA Tour competitors has done.

In what was surely no easy task, the panel ranked the top 60 most memorable moments to help commemorate the PBA’s 60th Anniversary this season. And there are some incredible moments we most likely all remember.

Here are the top five:

No. 1: Don Johnson shoots 299 at the Tournament of Champions

In today’s bowling reality, a 300 game is a somewhat common occurrence. But back in the 1970s, 300 games were rare and someone having a chance for a 300 game on national television? It didn’t happen often. Although two players before him had thrown perfect games on television, Don Johnson’s 299 game in 1970 tops the list simply because of his memorable reaction to the final shot.

In the championship match of the Firestone Tournament of Champions, Johnson was perfect heading into his final shot when a wicked ringing 10 pin ended his run at a $10,000 bonus and perfection. The image of Johnson falling on the approach in disbelief is etched into the memory of any bowling fan who has seen this moment.

No. 2: The PBA is founded 

Most of the memorable moments in PBA history over the past 60 years have been accomplished on the lanes, but none of those moments would have even been possible without what happened in 1958 in Syracuse, New York.

At the American Bowling Congress Tournament that year Eddie Elias, an attorney, sports agent and television personality from Akron, Ohio, met with what would become the 33 founding members of the PBA. Each of them contributed $50 to create the organization. Among the founding members were bowling greats Dick Weber, Don Carter and Carmen Salvino, all of whom are household names for bowling fans.

No. 3: Kelly Kulick becomes first woman to win PBA title

With the collapse of the Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour in 2003 (it was brought back in 2015), women were left without a tour to showcase their talents. The PBA opened its doors to female members in 2004, and in 2010, Kelly Kulick made history in Las Vegas.

Kulick steamrolled Chris Barnes, 265-195, in the championship match of the PBA Tournament of Champions to become the first woman to win a PBA Tour title. Kulick, clearly cognizant of the moment, said on her final shot “history has been made in the world of sports.” It was a moment that still gives bowling fans goosebumps when they watch it online.

No. 4: Pete McCordic’s $100,000 perfect game

In one of the most stress-filled, high-stakes shots in bowling history, Pete McCordic delivered a perfect strike to close out a 300 game and earn a massive $100,000 bonus. The perfect game came in the opening stepladder match of the 1987 Greater Los Angeles Open, in which McCordic defeated Wayne Webb 300-249.

What made this moment more special was the fact that there hadn’t been a televised 300 game in more than 13 years. For many bowling fans, it was likely the first 300 game they had ever witnessed on television. But for McCordic, it wasn’t all perfect that day – he went on to lose the next match 234-206 to eventual champion Mats Karlsson of Sweden.

No. 5: Pete Weber’s 'Who do you think you are? I am!'

The fifth most memorable moment on the list is thanks to a kid in the stands who had the gumption to cheer against Pete Weber during the televised finals of the 2012 U.S. Open. The result? Pete Weber screaming after his title-clinching strike “Who do you think you are? I am!” – a bowling phrase every bowler knows these days.

Needing a strike to secure the win against Mike Fagan, Weber tossed a spectacular shot to win 215-214 in North Brunswick, New Jersey. The win gave Weber a record fifth U.S. Open title, and the moment became an instant hit for bowling fans everywhere.
