- Congratulations to John Hinkle, Jr. and his father John Hinkle, Sr. for bowling a perfect 300 game, even his Hinkle, Sr. was inside the ball.
- The younger Hinkle is a two-time NCAA bowling championship winner, who credits his father for introducing him to the game.
- So, while Hinkle, Jr. was at Peoria, Illinois' Landmark Lanes on April 12th, he used a bowling bowl - with the thumb hole professionally filled with his dead father's ashes - to bowl a perfect 300 game.
- Hinkle said it took forever to find someone to put his dad's ashes in a bowling ball but believes Hinkle Sr. was there to see him score his perfect 300. Hinkle said "It’s special. Dad shot 298, 299, never had a 300. I had goosebumps, chills."
