Date: 1930s

During its golden age, even baseball players took up bowling! Boston Red Sox catcher Sammy White opened Brighton Bowl in Boston in August 1960. It was outfitted with 38 lanes, top-of-the-line Brunswick equipment, a 100-seat cocktail lounge, a snack bar, a fully staffed nursery and a Brunswick Pro Shop. Andy Varipapa attended the opening of the sparkling new alley and had a few pointers for the baseball star.
