“Fear of being one of the masses… just another face.”
That’s how Mo Pinel replied to a query about his worst fear in a profile that appeared in the Dec. 20, 1989 edition of the Daily Press in Newport News, Virginia.
There was no reason for Pinel to fret over getting lost in the bowling crowd. As so many people have noted since his passing last Friday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Pinel was one of a kind.
Maurice Louis Pinel Jr. was born in 1942 and died from complications of COVID-19.
Pinel was best known for his groundbreaking work in bowling ball core design and drilling techniques, which greatly contributed to the number of honor scores being rolled each season an increase some labeled as “score inflation.”
