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

There are several who I will try to read anything they post, but overall charlest and JustRico would be easy to vote for.

The Frank The Tank nominee was a joke, but some of his were down right hilarious

I like a lot of the suggestions ...
Jeff Carter, Ric Hamlin, Sawbones, Rev-O, Charlest, et. al.

But I would nominate 9~ for adding some (much needed!!!) levity to this site.
Frydays just wouldn't be the same without him (or Jeffrevs).

In no particluar order:
BrunsNick
Bruns/JustRico
Pchee
Sawbones
Charlest
LuckyLefty

Many more that I cant even think of right now would also be on here. I have been on this site for almost 8 years now and gained a ton of knowledge.

Majority on here won't know who TBU, Hose or pchee are.  

charlest I'd agree.

I remember TBU, Pchee, Hose, Spinner Barr of Doom (Or whatever his name was), Leftside, Plamor, and I'm not sure how many names created by the same user(s).  It was a fun time... I try to keep some laughs going, but admit some of the personalities above took it to a level I could only dream of.  

Sawbones would be my nominee.  Is he the most technical guy here? No.  But I think he's genuinely a good guy, he spawned Hose, and his posts are generally pretty interesting and spur some thought about the subject he has presented.
