Eddie Lubanski

Edward Anthony Eddie Lubanski (1929 to 2010) was an American bowler from Detroit whose achievements were recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records over a career of more than four decades. Born to Polish immigrants, he was named Bowler of the Year in 1959, the year he became the first professional to bowl back-to-back 300 games, 24 consecutive strikes, in a live televised match at the Bowling Palace in Miami. He rolled eleven sanctioned perfect games, and his lifetime average of 204 was the highest in the professional ranks for more than 25 years. In 1960 he and fellow Detroiter Bob Kwolek set a world record doubles total of 1,582 pins. He later served as a bowling instructor and as president of the Professional Bowlers Association, and entered the Michigan, ABC, Polish American and City of Detroit Sports Halls of Fame.
