Love the Marshall Holman commercial.

It just goes to show you last frame anything can happen.. it's not over till it's over. 🎳🎳

[@toscodav]

You can tell Chris and Bo don't seem as upbeat in this broadcast. I think they know this is the last season of bowling on ABC and it sucked all the energy out of them.

[@beeemm2578]

Man Its hard watching these '97 shows, let alone the last one. Complete tear jerker

[@toscodav]

I thought Jason Belmonte was the first to go thumbless. Mike Miller was ahead of his time.

[@Igloo3471]

Did Bob Benoit use him thumb?

@@Igloo3471 Benoit used his thumb but he cupped the ball. Also there is a difference between thumbless and two handed.

[@andrewphillips7555]

it was a thrilling title match between parker bohn iii and walter ray williams jr.

[@toscodav]

WRW used that 5 pin spare at 1:09 to figure out how to throw his strike ball. Normally he wouldn't be that happy by just picking up a single pin spare.

When PBIII gets lined up it's OVER. Mike had some really poor carry, he bowled very well. HAha that shot at 53:20 was huge, that awesome carry really loosened Parker up and shot up his confidence. Then he caves in the 6-7 on the first one in the 10th, throws his best ball of the match in the 11th, then grabs a handful of that 12th ball and still almost carries lol. He carried everything in the final Match too. Those Zone Pros really revolutionized the game. My average jumped 20 pins instantly when I switched out my Rhino Pro for them.

[@fiddlefaddle1]

Everyone including myself greatly appreciate that you post these but, could I suggest that you say who the bowlers are playing and leave it at that. By stating who is in each match, you let us know who wins each match ahead of the next, except for the last game. For example, I know that Parker beats Pete in the first, Parker beats Miller in the second match, Parker beats Jaros in the third. The only thing that I dont know yet is who wins the last match, without even watching the games.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

@fiddlefaddle. If you don't want to know the final matches, then don't read them ahead of time.

[@andrewphillips7555]

[@lynettepalecek3141]

I don't think that people should make fun of Parker Bohn III for his underarm stains. I'm sure that he was aware of them and he was embarrassed about it. He obviously didn't have another shirt to wear so he just had to ignore the stains. I bet that most of the people who made fun of him for that went through a similar situation. Making fun of it is just childish.

[@chaos0852]

They were not stains, those are perspiration marks which will dry out, stains are permanent

It was those shirts, not his deodorant or lack of it. I owned a pro shop back then and a few of those Brunswick shirts just would show every drop of moisture...there was nothing you could do about it.
