PBA champion Danny Wiseman has joined a group of well-known athletes in the Baltimore area as members of the Mayor's Anti-Animal Abuse Task Force, aimed at eradicating animal abuse in the City of Baltimore. For more information, Click here.

Speaking of Wiseman, the 12-time PBA Tour titlist has withdrawn from the PBA Detroit Winter Swing due to a recurring wrist injury that has plagued him the past few years. Wiseman is hopeful he'll be able to bowl the Tour's major championship events later in the season.
