You'll be happy to learn that Season 1 concludes with this episode.
I was happy to learn that nobody has ever bowled 300 in duck pin bowling. 276 is the highest score ever recorded, and it was done in Newington. Less than 15 miles away, the lowest ever PGA golf score of 58 was recorded, and almost invalidated by an error in recording that was caught by the twosome before the scorecard was signed.
7 year old Joseph, instilled with the belief that he can do anything he puts his mind to, thinks he can bowl the never-attained 300. The golf is not his interest but he likes that his dad Mike likes it.
Joseph has been a total delight since Episode 1, and brings me back to my own childhood and first sports memories, watching games, learning rules, playing catch in the backyard, and developing fan interest with my father. My first UConn basketball game was at the Field House when I was 9 years old. Joseph made his first trip to Gampel for the Florida game, with his dad, cousin, and Godparents
I'm only half way through this lengthy season finale; it was suggested for a split listening. I've also heard about Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game (he was no Denham Brown), and Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, and it got me through the ride back home after Thanksgiving cleanup & helping a friend move until late last night. I'll complete the episode as I go back to finish my friend's loading of small items, regstarting the podcast near the end of Lou Gehrig's iron man effort with the first mention of Cal Ripken. I can keep you posted if you'd like.
If this post was too long, I'll quote Joseph, "No offense."
