The PBA announced today plans for a 50th Anniversary celebration as the upcoming 2008-09 Denny’s PBA Tour will mark the 50th season in the organization’s history.
To kick off the celebration, the PBA will announce the “50 Greatest Players in PBA History.” A committee will select 50 bowlers from an original list of 100 and will then rank them from 1-50. Prior to the announcement of the top 50, fans will have the opportunity to rank their top 15 bowlers on the PBA’s official website, www.pba.com, starting in June.
A countdown to the top 50 bowlers will take place throughout the summer and the start of the 2008-09 season on PBA.com. Should a fan’s top 15 bowlers match the committee’s top 15 in exact order, they will be entered into a drawing to win a special prize, which will be announced at a later date.
The PBA will also designate one stop during the 2008-09 season for a gala celebration in which members of the 50 Greatest Bowlers in PBA History will be honored. In addition, a PBA Hall of Fame induction will take place at the gala with bowlers being inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame for the first time since 2000.
The PBA’s online video service, Xtra Frame, will feature special interviews and video clips of the 50 Greatest Bowlers throughout the season.
Announcements will be made throughout the summer detailing plans for the upcoming celebration.
