Gerenraich's Game
Is Passover-Perfect
MIKE ROSENBAUM
Special to The Jewish News
W
ith two sanctioned
300 games already
under his belt,
Howard Gerenraich's Pass-
over-night perfect game was
not that different from all
other nights in his bowling
life.
But his 846 series, which
also followed his abbreviated
seder, was the best ever roll-
ed by the 34-year-old South-
field resident.
Gerenraich had a hectic day
April 9. The owner of the pro
shop at Century Lanes in
Waterford left work, changed
into a suit in his car and
drove to sister-in-law Anita
Glasser's home for the fami-
ly seder. He left early for his
own home, driven by his
father, Morton. He changed
into bowling clothes and
headed for Cherry Hills
Lanes in Dearborn Heights
arriving minutes before the
league began play.
The harried Gerenraich, his
warmup cut short, then bowl-
ed games of 287, 300 and 259,
for an 846 series.
Why did the 212-average
bowler do so well that night?
My wife Carole thinks it's
because I had a half-cup of
wine, which is a half-cup
more than I have all year
long. Another theory is good
food — I ate one of everything
— at the seder."
The night was special,
Gerenraich agreed. "I shot a
300 in front of my father. I've
had two already, but I always
had to call him. So at least
this one he got to see." The
elder Gerenraich introduced
Howard to bowling when the
boy was 5.
Carole was there, too,
Passover night — much to
Gerenraich's chagrin when it
came to collecting his
winnings.
"I won the pot of gold which
had been building up for a lit-
tle while." But he doesn't
know how much it was
because "my wife got almost
all of it. What's mine is hers
and what's hers is hers."
But all is not lost. "I get an
allowance out of it,"he said.
Gerenraich opened game
one with a spare, then rolled
10 straight strikes. The right-
hander finished with a disap-
pointing seven pins on his
final ball for the 287.
Gerenraich's second game
— the 300 — "was very ex-
citing. You have to overcome
the giddiness that you feel
Howard Gerenraich:
Half-cup of wine.
because this is what every
bowler dreams about.
"And to have the opportuni-
ty to go up there and have
everyone watching — it's like,
the first nine frames you're
anonymous, no one comes
around. And then, in the 10th
frame, all of a sudden
everyone steps off the ap-
proach, everyone's worried
about disturbing your concen-
tration. And, all of a sudden,
you realize you're in the
center.
"In this particular case,
after I threw the 11th strike,
His 287, 200, 259
series was after
the seder.
I couldn't stop smiling. I was
trying to calm down" and
atone for the bad shot at the
end of Game One.
The final strike, he said,
was a bit lucky, too. He tried
to compensate for his bad shot
the preceding game, which
had gone to the left, by aim-
ing to the right. "And that's
exactly what happened: I
threw it a little bit further to
the right than I wanted to,
and I got a lot of pins mixing
for the 300."
In his 259 final game,
Gerenraich had seven
straight strikes after a first-
frame spare. But he didn't
think about the 800 until the
ninth frame "because I was
forcing myself not to think
frame-by-frame what I've got
to do. I just wanted to take
one frame at a time?' He
didn't want to worry about
needing a spare in the 10th
for the 800 he said.
