Carmen Salvino

Carmen Salvino

Carmen Salvino (born November 23, 1933) was a legendary professional ten-pin bowler and a founding member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). Salvino won 17 PBA Tour titles –- among them the 1962 PBA National Championship. He also won two PBA Senior Tour titles, including the 1984 Senior National Championship. The right-handed bowler was among the eight original inductees to the PBA Hall of Fame in 1975, and is also a member of the USBC Hall of Fame (inducted 1979).

Carmen now resides in Schaumburg, IL (USA), and has remained active in various capacities of the PBA -- including executive board and tournament committee positions, as well as one term as PBA president (1985-86).

Despite all his victories, Salvino listed a loss to his good friend Dick Weber in the finals of the 1988 PBA Showboat Senior Invitational among his most memorable tournaments. Although both Salvino and Weber were original PBA members when the organization was founded in 1958, the two had never met in a televised match until this 1988 tour stop.
