I've not been so entertained by a broadcast in quite a while. The hair. The clothes. The commercials. The fact that people took bowling seriously. This is wildly entertaining. Further, the recording quality is spectacular.

Not as much to do on Saturday mornings and weeknights were limited to short activities near home. Many groups still have bowling leagues I was in many. My last league was scratch singles (no handicap, 6th out of 24).

Dan Roches strike ball was pretty crushing. When he hit the pocket, it was 10 out of the back of the center. Impressive

ABC could make bowling compelling. They had the experience going back to Wide World of Sports to present all manner of sports as exciting. Watch how each roll is presented. Miss the days if watching bowlers smoke and drink beer between frames.

I idolized these guys and would set up plastic pins in my apartment's hallway, plus I bowled a lot at East End Bowl then MSG because I'd be picked last for other sports. I liked being in control of my results and picked up some league trophies plus hustling. I combined Mark Roth's power shot with Earl Anthony's precision though I usually got more spares since I didn't play the big angles much (later on I did). Fun times.

I could say so much about these two greats. To the point, however, either player could win in a one game match. Unlike the 100 game All-Star tournament that began in 1941. Keep in mind, that this "era" is pre urethane. The first urethane ball, the AMF Angle didn't come into existence until March 1981. Everyone was throwing down and in on hard laquer conditions with an LT-48. Roth was on staff with Columbia so he was throwing "a bleeder" yellow dot. Holman too if I'm not mistaken. Roth grew up bowling on very tough lane conditions in Brooklyn, NY at Maple Lanes. Holman practiced very diligently in the late 70's & the 80's at Lava Lanes in Medford, Oregon. Two power players. Roth being labeled "the granddaddy of the modern game. Roth went on to win 34 titles. Holman won 22 even with that disasterous championship match losing streak between 1981-1983. Both Hall of Famers, of course. Illustrious careers for both. I must also say thank you to "Bo Burton for proving such elaborate, insightful , enthusiastic and professional color commentary. It was a sad day when ABC cancelled their attachment to PBA telecasts in 1997. However, the PBA remained highly successful.😂

I thought Marshall Holman was gong to kick the foul lane light when he knew his goose was cooked in the championship game! He put his hands to his ears when the fans were clapping for Roth's win. He didn't like to lose, was a tough competitor, but could be a bit of a drama queen when he didn't get his way.
