Walter Ray Williams, Jr. (Pro Bowler)
Chris Barnes (Pro Bowler)
Norm Duke (Pro Bowler)
Kelly Kulick (Pro Bowler)

Calvin Borel (Jockey)

And of course, this list wouldn't be complete without pro poker players!

Daniel Negranu
Scotty Nguyen
David Williams
Phil Helmuth

I could go on...
Kelly Kulick deserved FAR more press than what she received when she won the Tournament of Champions. No woman had won on the PBA National Tour until she showed up and dominated from start to finish (She was invited to compete as the Woman's world champion). I swear if it had happened in any other sport besides bowling, it would have been all over the news, internet, etc. Instead it was treated like a "Good Morning, America" type story at best.
