Fortune favors The 500 Club

Only three players in the history of the Gr3g League have amassed over 500 total career points.

In the lead overall is D Nags with 553 points. “Uncle Dan” is a fan favorite who has played in 72 games over 5-plus seasons.

The race for second place is a continued on-and-off race between lifetime players Silky and Money.

Silky takes the lead for now at 512 while Money is right on his tail at 511.

This is a race to watch over the entirety of Year 6.

Coming in next on the list to potentially cross the 500 line are T-Roof at 485, B. Buckets at 450, and Gr3g at 420.

Cuervo at 370, Kid A at 369, and Good Job James at 329 all have the opportunity to hit the 400-point career mark later this season.

Spin That Rock around for Uncle Dan

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 23, 2025.
Daniel Thomas Napieralski, age 70, passed away peacefully, Wednesday, February 19, 2025. He was preceded in death by his wife, Christine (Schab) Napieralski; mother, Pauline, father, Florian, and siblings Mary, Dee, Chuck, Richard, Pat, Paul, Bob, John, Agnes, and Flo. He is survived by his children, Michael Napieralski (Paige Underwood) and Elizabeth Napieralski (Johnny Pink); grandchildren Frankie Trinity, Olive Mae, Nora June, and Corbin Prince; and siblings Ray Napieralski, William Napieralski, Jerry Napieralski, and Anne (Napieralski) Karnik.

Daniel came from a large and loving Polish family and was #13 of 15 siblings. He married his high school sweetheart, Christine, in 1975. They remained happily married for 42 years. In Grand Rapids, Daniel ran NAPS Office Supply, before relocating to Cave Creek, AZ in 1985. He owned and operated Action Office Supply in Arizona until his retirement in 2021 and then relocated to Santa Fe, NM.

Daniel was an avid bowler throughout much of life, winning League Championships 1981 and 1985. Daniel was also enjoyed horse and dog racing and was renowned as the first off-track betting teller in the state of Arizona. He became known to many as “Dog Man Dan.” Always good for a laugh, Daniel had a great sense of humor and wry wit. When not tending to business, Daniel was a baseball enthusiast who frequented Arizona Diamondbacks games; and a familiar face at the casino where he relished the “ching” of the slot machines.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the American Cancer Society, https://csn.cancer.org/. A Celebration of Life will be scheduled later this year.
