Who would you nominate for the BallReviews.com hall of fame?
« on: January 27, 2009, 02:37:08 AM »
In honor of recently inducted Norm Duke and Del Ballard into the PBA hall of fame, it got me thinking.  Who are the best all time posters in ballreviews history.  Who would you put in and why, past or present?  Not the hall of very good, the hall of fame.

My nomination goes to Ric Hamlin, current username JustRico, former name BrunsRico

Ric has been posting here for as long as I can remember.  He has helped many, many users, including me, in the selection of bowling balls, layouts, drilling options, surface preps, etc.  Any questions about the characteristics of a bowling ball not just Brunswick stuff, he was the man to go to.  He was the only reason I, and probably many others, used a bowling ball with the lengendary Rico layout and why the cg of a bowling ball no longer matters.
Thanks Ric


On the side would anybody put yours truely in?  I got a couple hundred posts to my credit and been here since 04', nothing to shame about

Necro of course I mean everybody loves him, in all seriousness I would have to say twohand834 as he really went out of his way to answer multiple questions as well as charlest and a Rico for their contributions to the site as well.

Mine are:

Tekneek - Steve Brinkley may be the best online shop on here. He is priced fair, always answers questions promptly, and is known for his famous free advice.

Charlest - agree with everything above.  He knows so much about surfaces that I now ask him about polishing my dining room table, waxing my car, and varnishing my garage door.

Dizzyfugu - he always helps with any layout questions I have, he's a dedicated BR member that deserves some praise.

Soon to get in:  DP3, Dan Belcher, and Cambumbo
