Well my great-grandma's maiden name was Varipapa. Andy Varipapa was my great grandma Lilly's uncle. She always told my mom that he was a famous bowler.
Andy Varipapa was truly one of the greatest bowlers that ever lived- all natural talent. IIRC he won the 1956 ABC Masters tournament at age 56! There will never be another one like him, that is for sure. Thank you for uploading this clip!
what year is this ? pls anyone

And Chris Barnes acts as if his "flying eagle" is new and impressive. Varipapa pulled it off before Barnes' daddy was outta diapers

The late, great, Varipapa. The Minnesota Fats of bowling. I suppose there won't be another one.
