6:35-Immaculate swing

[@andrewptob]

As a lefty, I love watching Earl Anthony and Parker Bohn III. Both have such smooth styles.

[@koryclarke1991]

AOB what about Mike Aulby?

[@ronsimko7137]

My favorite was Johnny Petraglia.

[@buyystocks]

@@ronsimko7137 same here I'm a left but cranked it like mark Roth,

[@ww2079]

Earl Anthony looks like Dana carvey's impression of George Bush. He also kind of looks like the manager of Chotchkie's in the movie Office Space (Jennifer Aniston's boss in the movie)

[@spookielocc]

holy fuckin shit , thats how 26 year olds looked back then? they look like thier 40 yrs old

[@NYDanno85]

First win after the heart attack was at Garden City in 1979, I believe. He made a bunch of shows in late 1978 (after he recovered some) and in early 1979, though.

[@MrRemark21]

Aired on ABC Saturday, February 14, 1981.

[@Snagglefratz]

There are great champions today but no one alive has one tenth the class Early Anthony had. He was The Man.

[@BudSchnelker]

Glad to see a good Buffalo boy in the finals, but I was still rooting for fellow lefty Anthony. Those were the days. Junior bowling on a Saturday morning, lunch, then the PBA/Wide World of Sports in the afternoon. I'd probably throw in a little session with my model train in the middle. Good times.

@xxIceWaLLxx i dont know, but its driving me nuts!!

[@marcelmetz363]

I love Earl Anthony fans.

[@detroitjc]

i see people smoking in the crowd. those were the days.

[@buyystocks]

same with bus and airplanes, lol

[@royplayer]

@xxiceWaLLxx Baker is trying to get the right feel in the bowling ball. Bowling is about feel for a lot of the pros.

[@mactavish1411]

Earl Anthony. The biggest reason why I'm proud to be a left handed bowler. :D

[@xxIceWaLLxx]

what is tom baker doing with his thumb? anyone else find that really weird?

[@top2pear]

That's as much as I remember Earl ever talking during a show. Was this his first win after his heart attack?

[@TickNation]

@Tata996 *COUGH* Walter Ray *COUGH*

[@snhtown9]

@spookielocc A major energy crisis also contributes as well. :-)

[@rosewoodfretboard]

LOL! That's great.

[@gurowiczw]

Tom Baker? or... FRANK ZAPPA?

[@RovingRoy]

I love the PBA Classic broadcasts, but I don't want to listen to Earl Anthony or anyone else blabbering to themselves. It's utterly annoying. This mic hookup was a bad idea.

[@gdobie1west988]

I think the mic idea was interesting. You get to hear how the pros handle pressure, by talking positive to themselves. All part of the mental side of sports.
