Strike!

No, silly, not that kind. The bowling kind! Apparently Gardy gets a lot of them; see, our Fearless Leader grabs life by the horns by hitting the lanes. All Batgirl wants to know is, does he have an embroidered shirt?

From :

Ron Gardenhire never hit .300. But he has bowled it.

And though he's not sure what his lifetime bowling average is, he knows what his lifetime batting average is: .232. The bowling average, he guesses, is probably higher.

"I can pretty much guarantee it," the Minnesota Twins' manager said. "They're not too far apart."

If Gardenhire wasn't one of the most consistent winners in baseball, he might be one of the more consistent winners on the professional bowlers tour. He surely would be one of the happier guys on the bowling tour.

"I love bowling. I've bowled all my life," he said. "I grew up in a small town, [and] I used to go bowling all the time."
