Tony Zagryn(/ˈzæɡrɪn/ ZAG-rin; November 28, 1912 – December 11, 2006) was an American professional bowler and life-long advocate for community sports of all types. As a resident of Bristol, CT his entire life, Tony had a 50+ year career as a professional athlete, baseball coach and owner of local bowling alleys. Tony was also an accomplished high school baseball player and Little League coach and was instrumental in the selection of Bristol as the host for Little League's Mid-Atlantic Regional playoffs each August at the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Center. He remained an avid fan and mentor of the game throughout his life and was awarded The Coach Dan Valerio Committee Award in 1980.[1] He was inducted into the Bristol Sports Hall of Fame in 2000 for his dedication to the sport of bowling, his life-long support for sports of all types in his home town, as well as his accomplishments as a 3-time world record holder in the sport of duckpin bowling.[2] [3] [4][5]
