Wow! An 18 year old clip. This must've been the very first video ever posted on KZbin

This match has both of my favorites. Petraglia and Dickinson

Chris, John, Howard.. ABC sports legends

Can't get enough of these classic match ups. Absolutely wonderful! (love Earl's shirt!)😅

Bowling balls were so much weaker then. Not a single ball split the 8/9.

Awsome !

Ernie now bowls with our team on Thursday nights. Still the same guy, quite a character! But really, a good dude, despite the on air antics

I like KABC-TV.

Carmen Salvino is my all-time favorite bowler. He was a terrific showman during an era when many professional bowlers were stoic, unwilling to show emotions. Funny, nowadays most bowlers emote like Salvino during his heyday.

I didn't know Earl Anthony ever lost.

lol for the first time they hug and kiss; pretty sure not already a 3yr old kid they produced. Happy Ringener got the title ,good career, well deserved!

Man talk about 2 classic bowler going against each other, good finish to the match

Earl was one of those that was just BORN to compete.

Randy throws a perfect shot and loses! what a great match!

I forgot how ugly DW's release was. NO follow through. I'm glad Pete's form was the opposite. I know it worked for DW though obviously its still ugly though lol

If that one dude hadn’t 2-10 it would have been an interesting match but alas good win by Dave

Man That Never Gets Old Back to Back 😊

You wouldn't say Earl's becoming a member of the "long hair" set now, would you? 😁 2:30

kinda makes my head spin knowing that Mr. Anthony didnt go full time pro until he was THIRTY YEARS OLD. What was he doing with his life before that? The thought of him being around since,i dunno,1960…phew

The contrast between Pete and His father Dick Weber was the effect of evolving Lane Coditions❤ thanks foe these strong memories ❤revisted May 12 2024 Dobie Wan Kanobie ❤❤❤❤❤

And in 4 years from the time of this win, Earl will die in a freak falling accident at one of his friend’s house. That reminds me of this old adage: With friends like that, who needs any enemies.

I was around 6 or 7 years old when I first watched bowling on Saturdays; Earl Anthony’s dark frame glasses, crew cut, and machine-like efficiency rolling the ball set him apart. And besides, he was born in Tacoma, which is pretty much the only thing we have in common

Holman is such a bad winner....and loser actually. Cannot stand him. Enthusiasm is one thing but he is NUTS!

Wonderful memories.Videos like these need to be preserved for historical value!!!❤

Smooth delivery.

This is the best era of pro bowling.

wow - pinboys!!!

Spoiler Alert. Please watch all of the matches before you read the comments.😎

Love Ernie.... always tough bowling

❤❤❤

EA is the greatest, on and off the lanes always a class act, always cool and calm, never yelling and screaming when he won, just another day at the office. He dominated an era where it took skill, todays pros have it so much easier with todays equipment, todays pros would struggle with those older conditions and equipment

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ best xs

The goat 🐐

The greatest sports announcer of all time

good match between two lefties but i did not catch the final scores.

ERNIE I HATE YOU! CHRIS HOCH

Duke... Total class and a good guy. Fun to watch. The other guy... The opposite.

Ernie has a bit of the tism

Wow, Salvino had quite the high backswing when he was young. As he got a bit older, it was a fair amount lower. Always one of my favorite pros. Last I heard, he was still bowling well into his 80's.

Schegle sucks the big one!

(3:53) Beautiful moment! Love it!

Seems like the light hit is what got the best pin action at those lanes that day

That's my dad

I'm convinced that Ernie is an alien

6:20 Webers ball hitting the pins sounds like a car backing into a parking pole...😆 🤣

None of you remember the days when the tournament leader at the end of 40 games was the winner. To lead EVERY round of qualifying is almost unheard of in the modern era. To bowl almost flawlessly and lose in a one game roll off is pretty gut wrenching. I feel for Forkel.

Hey! My name is Carson! And Dana is actually my coach now!

😮 Earl the dunken Pearl opps. Earl the Great!!! EARL. EARL EARL

Thats just nutts for Walter Ray to bowl that good and loose. Voss was the man, congrats!
