Holy opens galore in that first game!!!!!! Wow....I don't think I've ever seen that many big fours in a telecast, let alone in one match!!!!

The contestants bowled well in the 1983 $135,000 Miller High Life Open on Alleys 17 & 18 at Wonder Bowl.

3:18 boy that statement from Bo Burton Jr came back to bite him in the ass. Of the three mentioned, all three would go on to win PBA Player Of The Year over the course of the next four years!

Not the first time NBJr made fat comments. He ragged on Mark Fahy and Ron Bell live on air. I love Nelson, but he said inappropriate shit sometimes. 😅

@@beeemm2578 it’s a little bit of tough love. Nelson said a good example by being in great shape. I think he had every right to point out the deficiencies in some of those players after all, they’re supposed to be professionals.

I never realized they bowled in Anaheim. I started watching the PBA in 1984 one year later. I only remember them bowling at Gable House in Torrance, Town Square Lanes in Riverside and Cal Bowl in Lakewood. That must have been the last year the PBA bowled in Anaheim maybe. Looks like they had recently replaced the masking units, I think that style came out in late 70's or early 80's but the ball returns still looked like an older style.

@@jcookster74 There were eight PBA national tour events in Anaheim between 1971 and 1984. Virtually unknown Gary Madison won in 1971, Mike McGrath won in 1972, then the tour returned there again in 1979 for a six year run. Carmen Salvino won his final national tour title there in 1979 over Mike Berlin. Steve Martin, Guppy Troup, Gary Skidmore and Wayne Webb would subsequently win titles there over the ensuing years.

@Igloo3471 Wow you know your history. That's outstanding. I remember alot of stuff but probably couldn't name winners of tournaments like that. I guess I forgot they bowled there in 1984, but then again that was my first season watching regularly and I dont think I watched right from the first tournament. I loved bowling as a kid and used to bowl in the hallway with soda cans but never for real. My neighbor introduced me to the PBA on Saturday afternoons and I started watching. I finally got to bowl for real in summer of 1985.

Wonderbowl Anaheim was a nice center, just down the street from Disneyland. It's sister house Wonderbowl Downey was where Earl Anthony won the PBA National in 1974 and 1975, and where Aleta Sill won her first professional title

@ytlas3 Wow didn't know they had PBA events in Downey, too, in the 1970's. They sure had a lot more tournaments in Southern California back then. They basically have nothing here anymore. They were supposed to hold the 1st round of the PBA playoffs in 2020 somewhere in Southern California, but that got canceled by COVID-19. Unfortunately Gable House in Torrance was closed and torn down a couple years ago.

And they honestly didn’t start out that bad… all hell broke loose in the second half of the game, alas

@Igloo3471 13 күн бұрын

@@danielschrafel3158That's what I was thinking. Halfway through I thought how can this be the 163-133 result but as we saw, it got ugly real quick and ended up being the alltime lowest scoring TV match in PBA history. I Think Jacques was involved in another match the same year, on another network that was just as bad (157-156)! Staton's 133 was the equal second lowest score ever bowled on TV at the time by a PBA pro along with Steve Neff at the Firestone (maybe 1979?), Roy Buckley's 131 in 1975 in Toledo was the then record.

46:38 poor sportsmanship from Husted there storming off without shaking hands with his opponent.

@jcookster74 13 күн бұрын

@Igloo3471 Yeah, after that crazy strike to beat him, looks like he said see you later. It is kinda surprising because Husted normally showed very good sportsmanship throughout his career from what I noticed. This was pretty early in his career, so I guess you can give him a pass for maybe not being the best sportmanship.

@Igloo3471 13 күн бұрын

@jcookster74 Yes I thought similar. Switched on, very focussed player but exemplory in manner and sportsmanship. Was very surprised to see that but you're right, he was still quite young there.
