Biography
Elvin Earl Mesger (March 24, 1916, Rosebud, Missouri – October 14, 2001, Sullivan, Missouri) was an American bowler, holder of the American Bowling Congress record for 800-or-better series (15). He also held the record (since broken) for most sanctioned perfect games, with an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records; between 1958 and 1974, he had 27. He scored his 13th, 14th and 15th perfect games in one day—a first for the ABC—then rolled four more 300s in three weeks.
