Historically, we have defined an "underdog" in our league as anyone whose average is 149 or below. We even have a season favorite award in their honor that celebrates which bowler the league felt did the best job for their team in that role. When underdogs roll a 200+ game, it's always a time to celebrate. Many times, this is the first – and sometimes only – that the bowler will crest that mark. We got to wondering which underdog managed to improve so quickly in a game to reach their first 200 game...Check out the Top 25 Underdogs Who Rolled a 200+ Game the Fastest:
