History & Origin of DuckPin Bowling
Born in the early 1900’s DuckPin Bowling had its birth at the turn of the 20th century at Diamond Alleys in Baltimore, MD with Uncle W Robinson & JJ McGraw, bowling proprietors & members of the original Baltimore Orioles baseball team.
“Flock of Flying Ducks” Diamond Alleys had smaller 5-inch balls & pins on the premises, bowlers would amuse themselves playing non-regulation games.
Robinson & McGraw, whose other sport was shooting ducks, saw the little pins fly as the small ball plowed through them, they remarked the pins look like a “flock of flying ducks”
“DuckPins” Christened Bill Clarke, a sports writer for the Baltimore Sun, wrote a story on the new, fascinating game & christened them “DuckPins”. The name has stuck ever since. Legend is a perfect 300 game has yet to be thrown!
