A week after AMF Bowling announced this 1998 massacre of Baltimore duckpin houses, I interviewed Merrell Wreden, vice president of marketing for the corporation. Wreden told me the moves weren’t part of a plan to exterminate duckpin bowling. But he admitted AMF’s mission was to make money for investors, not to sustain a regional pastime.

“This is strictly business,” Wreden said.

I'm grateful the candlepin stuff back in Halifax is still going strong. I grew up playing it and just thought of ten pin as that weird thing I saw Americans play on TV. I legit don't think I even played ten pin until I was 30.

wow, amf wouldn't even sell the damn pinsetters or equipment for duckpin when they ripped it out, they threw it away when duckpin alleys were offering to buy

fucking shit, amf
