Do you know that bowling is an ancient sport game? Archaeologists have discovered primitive bowling balls and pins in an Egyptian tomb dating to 5200 BC. But the pinsetter was invented by Gottfried Schmidt in 1936 so you are thinking how the pins are reset before that. Yes, they have pin boys that time. The picture above is from Library of Congres showing pin boys working in Subway Bowling Alleys, 65 South St., B’klyn, N.Y. Hmm… wondering how much was the pay for a pin boy that time.
