Sheboygan Masters of the Lanes


The Shircel brothers bowl together on the Budweiser team in the Al & Al’s Brotherhood League of Sheboygan, Wisconsin and last night, for the first time, they rolled successive perfect games. Combined, the two have individually rolled 10 perfect games, but never at the same time.

Tom (right), the younger brother at 52 went first and started nailing pins down. Ed, 57, followed up in the anchor position and started taking aim as well. The younger brother deferred to his elder insisting that Ed is the better overall bowler, being a Sheboygan Bowling Association Hall of Famer. “We always talked about hitting good on the same nights,” Tom said. “We’ve had 700s together, but nothing like this.”

For Ed, whose bowling exploits have gotten him on television and earned him state championship trophies this perfect game (his 6th) was extra special. “This was something a little different, a different kind of good experience,” he said.

    i think this picture would have come across as more brotherly/heartwarming if they were holding each others’ balls instead of holding their own.

    wait a minute…
