We will be doing this with a brief write up on each, explaining why we are honoring said bowler, some of his/her accomplishments, as well as YouTube videos highlighting some of their greatest professional/amateur moments.

Today, we’ll be starting with an obvious choice: George Branham III.

Branham is credited for being the first African-American to break through on the PBA Tour. Branham competed for 19 years in the tour, capturing a total of 5 PBA Tour titles, including the TOC. These accolades made Branham the first African-American to win a standard tour title as well as a Major title.
