2003 PBA Empire State Open Entire Telecast

[@multicaruana]

The final match was absolutely breathtaking, watching it 18 years later. I must have missed when it was aired live. Ryan Schafer was always one of my favorite bowlers for so many reasons; he was(is) a dynamic bowler; he was from NY; I went to college near his home town; his last name is the same as my best friend's, and even his mom looked like my best friend's mom. What incredible spirit and determination he showed in this match. Tremendous power. I was with him on the final match 120%. Great outcome. Thanks for this one!

[@andrewphillips2179]

the wildcard, 2nd semi final, and title matches were exciting and very close

[@douglasharris5216]

Andrew Phillips you think 257-226 is close? What wild card match were you watching?

[@drummachine434]

[@michaelschweizer4772]

Ryan Shafer puts a tremendous amount of roll on the ball.

1:17:20 The spinning pin fails to take down the 4 pin for Chris Barnes!

Thomas McCarrick arsehole

[@andrewphillips2179]

Ryan Shafer made the 7 pin and threw a clutch strike on the fill ball to win by 2 pins in the Empire State Open

Andrew Phillips if you truly loved bowling you wouldn’t post spoilers!

A-Hole

[@NomadUniverse]

First time I've seen Dick Weber like that, I don't think I've ever seen a father and son look so alike, twins, 40-50 years apart!!

[@GearWave]

What's that little Orange compact looking thingy Jaros has @12:49?

[@rosarywmd]

What's going on at 1:17:23 wow...the pins are resetting on top of the 4 pin standing, what a weird clip of film....

[@BrownWolverine]

That's the way that particular pinsetter works.

[@MegaKillZero]

where do i get one of those Pete Weber bobble head?

[@latingravesjr.5700]

am I the only one that thinks steve jaros and jack jurek look alike??

[@suburbanhomejustin]

2000s Steve Jaros, definitely!

[@douglasharris5216]

Jaros looks like Ned Flanders

[@steelydanbowler]

I like the way Steve Jaros throws the ball.

[@kennypr58]

steeleydanbowler I agree. I like just about everything about Steve Jaros. He seems like a real gentleman with a superb attitude.

[@frankrabis]

dank dafür, thank you

[@terminat1]

Technically, Barnes didn't advance until he knocked down eight on his first ball in the ninth (he needed four to shut out Fagan).

[@Bowling_Planet]

Dramatic Ending!

[@madsfriedstrup1507]

thanks for upload! keep it up (:

[@golefevre]

Ha! Fagan was rocking the surfer look like a champ!

[@GearWave]

I miss the old introduction and Dave Ryan..

[@GearWave]

Fagan was playing a bit too deep on the lane. Would have loved to see another match between these two but this time Mike would be lined up better.

[@ronaldshank7589]

As for Ryan Schaefer, I think I see why he, at that point, had only won 3 PBA Titles. The very first frame.. he leaves a double split (The 4, 6, 7, 10)?!? Whew! That's a horrible break, and a horrible way to start his game! I'm not being mean or hateful in my comments, either. Just very observant.

[@GearWave]

Jaros' style is a bit boring to watch but its effective.

[@thebowlfosho4974]

23:52 MOO 48:15 O, MAN! I HATE THAT!

Dave Ryan made the shows almost unwatchable.
