Richard Anthony Weber (December 23, 1929 – February 13, 2005) was an American professional ten-pin bowler and founding member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). Along with Don Carter, Weber is widely regarded as professional bowling's first superstar.[1] He is one of only eight players in history to accumulate at least 30 career PBA Tour titles, and was also the first player to reach that plateau.[2]
