Congratulations on your 300, Dale. I, too, am legally blind and bowl 2 times a week. I've bowled for 48 years,so despite my loss of sight(glaucoma), I am still able to do all the fundamental stuff. Since loosing my sight, I have become a better bowler. So, those of you out there who are dising this man, try closing your eyes and bowling a whole game. What a bunch of jerks!!! By the way, my sight is 20/600and 20/800. Want to tell ME I'm not legally blind, too?

Big deal. - he can see well enough to bowl. I played football "legally blind" as a kid - glasses got in the way and I couldn't wear contacts. I played halfback on offense and DE on defensive. I led our team in scoring and caught many passes, although I couldn't see the ball until it was almost to me. I never made a big deal about it and neither did anyone else, in fact not even the coach knew how bad it was and he was always getting on to me for all the holding penalties for tackling the wrong guy lol.

Report This! Its not THAT amazing - he can see out of one eye. By definition "legally blind" is 20/200 or worse. I'm "legally blind" without my glasses but can see well enough to bowl straight. This reminds me of the "amazing" autisic hs kid that shot several 3 pointers, except that when you watched the tape, no one was seriously guarding him. These overexagerrated stories take away from those that are truly remarkable.

QUOTED FROM THE ARTICLE, "Davis said the only time he sees the ball is when he picks it up, " So, what you say isn't exactly correct. Unlike you, who can put on glasses and see, he can't do that. He has to just know his footing, where his hand should be when he realeases the ball and a number of other things that must be correct in order to get a strike. That in itself is not a simple feat and so for him to bowl a Brooklyn, that IS pretty amazing. If you have bowled and enjoy it, you could appreciate this story and what he has
