Bowler dies moments after first perfect game

[MrCoffee]

RAVENNA, Mich. - A Michigan man who bowled his first perfect game immediately collapsed in the bowling alley and died.

Don Doane belonged to the same team at a bowling alley for 45 years.

On Oct. 16 at Ravenna Bowl, he scored a perfect 300.

As he was being congratulated by his teammates, local television reports said Doane collapsed on the floor.

The 62-year-old was taken to a local hospital but could not be saved. A medical examiner later determined that a heart attack killed Doane.

5. That's more like a "Less Than Perfect Game."

Perhaps the worst game of his life.

13. Dude must've been amped.

Can you imagine the adrenaline flow needed to stop his heart? If anything he died really happy.

14. At least he died with his boots on

Or, in this case, died with his three-toned leather-soled shoes on.

[JVS]

16. I wonder who will be the next lucky bowler to rent the shoes he died in

Spoooky!

17. Joseph Campbell used to tell the story of an Aztec (IIRC) ritual...

in which two teams competed in a ball game. The winners were then treated like Gods, and then sacrificed....he would say that they really went out on top......
