Barbie Bowling Champ Collector Edition Doll 2000 Mattel No. 25871 NRFB

Let's go Bowling! Let's take to the lanes and "strike" up a friendly game of one of the most popular recreational sports in the U.S. Brought to the United States by early Europeans, bowling soon swept the nation and became as American as burgers and fries.

During the 1940s and '50s, flashy bowling centers, often whimsical in design, became popular indoor playgrounds for both the working class and the elite. President Harry Truman even had bowling lanes installed in the White House. Bowling leagues developed and served as the perfect venue for fun social activity as well as serious competition.

Bowling fashions were often outrageously colorful and unique. Bowling shirts had the bowler's name or nick- name hand embroidered on the front, with the name of the league or sponsor on the back.
