Nearly everyone who becomes immersed in competitive or even social bowling for a long time ends up hearing about the “Varipapa 300.”
It was even mentioned on the telecast of the 2025 PBA Tour Finals.
A strike string at the end of one game and another at the beginning of the following game that add up to twelve total strikes: thats a "Varipapa 300."
Dig deeper into the eponym, and you may discover Glenn Gerstner’s biography “Andy Varipapa: Bowling’s First Superstar.”
You can find it at McFarlandbooks.com.
The first-ever biography on Varipapa involved plenty of digging for Gerstner, and brought to light information that Varipapa’s own family was not previously aware of.
Gerstner discusses the “Great Varipapa,” and the process of creating the biography in “One of One.”
Check out video of Andy Varipapa on Gerstner's YouTube channel: youtube.com/@AndyVaripapaBook
