A native of Beaver, Pennsylvania, the 50-year-old John David Burkett (born November 28, 1964) pitched for the San Francisco Giants, Florida Marlins, Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox during a 16-year career that began in 1987 and ended with his retirement in 2003 at age 38. He posted a 166-136 record with 1,766 career strikeouts. He was an all-star with the Gi- ants in 1993 (when he contended for the National League Cy Young Award with a 22-7 record) and in 2001 with the Braves. Burkett also was a National League All-Star in 2001, with the Atlanta Braves, who retired fol- lowing the 2003 season after going 12–9 with the Red Sox at age 38. His 1996 postseason win with the Rangers in the Divisional Series was the first postseason win in the franchise’s history. His career as an athlete enters a new chapter when he began his professional bowling career in earnest in the PBA50 Pasco County Florida Open, two weeks ago. “I’ve been practicing and working out,” Burkett said. “More recently I’ve been working on get- ting my rev rate back up by changing my grip. I have a tendency to squeeze it and the ball knuckles off my hand, but I’m starting to turn that problem around.” Burkett, an accomplished bowler for most of his life who now resides in Southlake, Texas, is no stranger to bowling in PBA competition, having bowled in a handful of Tour events since making his debut in 1990 in Pinole, Calif.
