Title: They Came to Bowl
Description: "Covering both sport and city, this book looks at bowling from the taverns and saloons that housed recreational games to the sell-out crowds and million-dollar beer sponsorships of televised tournaments. Doug Schmidt's wide-ranging research and interviews with popular players chart the changing face of bowling over the century. Packed with memorable showdowns and improbable heroes, this authoritative text will take you to the lively lanes of Milwaukee - and illuminate the sport as a whole."--Jacket.
