    At the 1958 ABC Masters Eddie Elias talked with 33 charter members of the PBA. He asked them to put 50 dollars as seed money, the rest is bowling history. Top Greatest Moments in PBA History 1. Petraglia’s perfect game—in 1994 Johnny Petraglia perfect game at the PBA Nationals-World Championship. Johnny Petraglia would shoot a 300 game winning a $100,000 prize and enabling his children to go to college. 2. Mike Aulby the first player to complete the Grand Slam at the 1995 Brunswick World Tournament of Champions. Mike Aulby would be the first bowler to complete the Grand Slam by winning the Tournament of Champions. He would do this by doubling in the tenth to defeat Bob Spaulding. 3. Bob Learn’s Jr 1,129 series in front of Bob Learn’s hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania. Bob Learn would be a 300. He would win the tournament and then set a four game record on national television averaging 282.254 for his four games. It would be the highest scoring finals in PBA History. 4. Walter Ray Williams Jr winning 42 PBA Tour Titles at the 2006 PBA Japan Cup. Walter Ray would surpass by having the Front Ten against PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber. 5.
