At least that's what they told him...

So a blind guy bowled a perfect game recently in Iowa. But that's not what I find amazing. I'm also not amazed that he did it despite being 78 years old. The fact that he's a World War II vet? Nope. How about that his friends call him "The Hammer"? Eh.

No, what really gets me about this guy is that after the perfect game, they get him to pose for a picture for the newspapers, and no one -- absolutely no one -- bothered to tell him to smile. The guy bowled 12 straight frames of strikes -- something most people consistently fall, oh, 10 or 11 short of -- but no one said "Cheese"?

Jeez, the guy looks depressed. Then again, he's 78 and blind. Maybe a perfect game only makes up for so much.
