953 nut 62,166 #1 Posted September 3 We are geared up to bowl a perfect game this US Bowling League Day on September 3. Bowling is an ideal activity to enjoy any time of the year. Heading to the bowling alley with friends or family never gets old or dull. Did you know that bowling originally featured nine-pins? In the 1830s and 1840s, a ban was placed on bowling by officials based in Connecticut. Excessive gambling was linked with the activity, posing a threat to public welfare. At the time, bowling featured nine pins, which is what was specifically outlawed. Players found a way around this by adding an extra pin, making the game 10-pin. The next evolution of the game happened when the automatic pinsetter revolutionized bowling in the 1950s. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
