Christopher Best is a graduate student at Florida International University in Miami, who has demonstrated remarkable ability to beat the odds.
The odds of an amateur bowler scoring a perfect 300 game are estimated to be about one in five hundred. Yet Christopher Best has bowled a perfect game not once, or even twice, but on twelve occasions. For the uninitiated, that means he rolled twelve strikes in a row: one in each of the first nine frames, followed by three more in the tenth frame.
To have done that on twelve occasions, then, is a remarkable feat. There are those who claim that advances in technology have made it easier to bowl a perfect game than it used to be, but they are splitting hairs. To bowl a perfect game, you not only have to maintain your form from start to finish; you also have to battle your nerves and maintain your composure, even as you play in the zone and are throwing strike after strike.
Christopher Best has done this a dozen times. As good as that is, he is far from reaching a world record. According to the United States Bowling Congress Records and Statistics website, a bowler named Jim Hosier of Wayne, New Jersey is the record holder, having bowled 112 perfect games.
Christopher Best is a former high school music teacher. He is now enrolled in a graduate program at Florida International University, working toward his Masters of Finance degree. He also received his Masters degree in Music Education from FIU.
