I was about 16 years old (I’m now 34 years old) and I had to pick up a 4-7-10 split to beat him. Pete bet I couldn’t do it and razzed me quite about about choking when I left the split. I was so nervous that I started my five step approach on the wrong foot, somehow ended up taking six steps, slid on the wrong foot, but ended up making the split. Talk about beginners luck. It was certainly a sweet victory against him! Pete gave me a hard time about how I converted the split but was great about it overall. He signed books, posters, and napkins after the match. It was such an honor to bowl with one of the greatest PBA members in the world!
