Fun Thread: Where Are They Now? PBA Pros

[Ramtart]

Where are they now?

Thought I'd throw this out there for you guys...
I was looking for some old PBA tapes at home, btw, if you guys have any that would you like to get rid of, you know who to message! Hehe...Anyways, I always wondered what happened to some of the PRO's who made it on the show only once or twice...

Jimmy Keeth - Won the Tums Classic in 93 I think?
Scott Devers -Lefty who had a very unorthodox swing that swung around his back
Harry Sullins - Righty who had a very cupped wrist then uncorked the ball
Jess Stayrook - PBA champion (Loved watching him saw on that ball)
Bob Belmont - Righty who made the show a bunch in the early 90's - mid 90's
Joe Firpo - Admired his game while I was a Junior Bowler
Mark Mosaybei - Remember him making some telecasts in the late 90's
John O'Drobinak - Saw him on a 1989 telecast. Pretty smooth righty
Will think of more!

Go ahead and add to the list. I tried looking for some of these guys on Bowl.Com
I think Harry Sullins is averaging around 220's somewhere...Any updates on any of these guys?

Have Fun!

This should be interesting:

Ricky Corona? Joe Berardi?

Both of these guys were on a telecast with Joe Firpo back in the late 80's.  Berardi ended up winning the tournament.  I can't remember who the 4th bowler was who made the show.  It was on ESPN when Mike Durbin and Denny Schriener were doing commentary.

Ricky Corona is a Storm rep who still bowls the PBA West Regionals intermittently. I asked him a few questions about the Vertigo when I bowled the ABT Nationals in Las Vegas recently.

Ernie Schlegel is definitely alive and kicking in Vancouver, WA. I bowled a Valentines No-Tap doubles at his home house, and my partner and I handily beat Ernie and his wife.

Bragging?  

Yes. It was, after all, no-tap.

Mike Miller and his sister Dana Miller-Mackie along with her husband Steve Mackie own and operate "10 Pins and More" in Rio Rancho, NM(suburb of Albuquerque, NM). Mike does occasionally bowl regionals, but primarily he runs the pro-shop with his dad Gary "Gub" Miller.  I also occasionally see him on the local golf courses as well.
His Sister Dana had high book avg for the Albuquerque Association last season, I believe it was around 230 or so. They were also running a local tournament for all ages and broadcasting it on a local cable access channel with Steve Mackie doing the commentary.

I bowled against Sajek and O'Drobinak back in the early 80's. I heard Ricky lives in Fla, and not sure about Jon. There was one other Indiana kid back then that came from the same area, His name was Mike Steinbach. I got to see them all come up and win on the tour.

How about Bob Vespi..? What's he doing nowadays..? =:^D

[Smash49]

Last time I called Mike Miller I got his answering machine and listened to it for quite a while!!! Funny! New Mexico.  David Ozio bowled with us at Nationals and works for Dexter.  He does senior stops but spends time going back and forth from New Hampshire is what he told me.  We had two teams and it was Ozio and Tommy Kress on one.
