Pork Rollin' - BlueClaws to Become Pork Rollers on June 18th

JERSEY SHORE, NJ - Celebrating the best of bowling in New Jersey, and of course its most popular breakfast meat, the BlueClaws will become the Jersey Shore Pork Rollers on Thursday, June 18th.

The Pork Rollers logo includes a piece of Pork Roll swinging a wooden bowling pin, as if it were a bat. The jersey is designed like a bowling shirt, with star imagery on the front and a bowling lane on the back with the player's number.

"Being able to combine two great things like Pork Roll and Bowling is going to make this night one to remember," said BlueClaws General Manager Bob McLane. "Of course, any chance to highlight Pork Roll, and yes, that's what it's called, is something we'll do every time! And bowling has distinguished history here in New Jersey. We can't wait for Pork Rollers Night!"

Bowling in New Jersey

Bowling has always been popular in New Jersey. In its heyday, there were nearly 500 lanes in the state, including AstroBowl in Clifton, owned at one time by Yogi Berra and Phil Rizzuto. 1950s television shows like "Make That Spare" were filmed at Paramus Lanes.

Locally, Parker Bohn III, an inductee into the PBA Hall of Fame in 2000, was born in Jackson and starred at Freehold Township High School. He is a 35-time PBA Tour winner, including wins in three majors.

At the Taylor Pork Roll stand, fans can get Pork Roll, Egg & Cheese Sandwiches or Burgers, Pork Roll Nachos, Pork Roll Tacos, Pork Roll Mac-and-Cheese, and much more!
