From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lou Campi (23 March 1905 – 31 August 1989) was a professional bowler.[1] He was known as Wrong Foot Louie, a reference to the fact that he completed his delivery on his right foot, unlike most right-handed bowlers who finish with the left foot forward.[2] Campi was born in Verona, Italy.[3]
