Basil "Buzz" Fazio, nicknamed the Buzzer, lived from February 7, 1908 to February 15, 1993 and was a pioneer and early American bowling star of the mid-20th century. He was known equally for his fierce competitiveness and his audience-pleasing theatrics, and his professional career ran from the early 1940s to the late 1960s. A six-time champion of the American Bowling Congress and a two-time champion of the Professional Bowlers Association, he began his career during bowling's golden era of team play.
