PBA Televised 300 Game #12: Steve Hoskins

[@Class1aNScaleModelRailroading]

The deepest you'll ever see Walter Ray shoot! Love seeing all the old equipment! Takes me back to my teenage years and wanting every ball I watch thrown on T.V.

[@beaulaplume]

Class 1a N-Scale Model Railroading do you know what the oil pattern was?

[@doomusrlc]

I miss this place. Was my favorite when I was on the Saturday youth travel league here in Rochester back in my high school years.

[@garla5851]

Couldn’t throw a better ball than that 12th Strike !! B O O M !💥 Cheers 🍻

[@mpup54]

i dont think anyone else is ever gonna shoot a 300 with that line again

[@AcessDBpro]

You may have seen that the announcer stated that this was the 11th, not 12th, TV 300. The reason is that on May 3, 1997, Jason Queen bowled a TV 300 at the ABC (Bud Light) Masters in Huntsville, AL. However, that event was not sanctioned as an official PBA event at the time. In May 2008, the PBA retroactively upgraded the Masters to PBA event status, and statistics for all PBA members were adjusted accordingly. One of those stats, of course, was Queen's 300, so every TV 300 between Queen's achievement and the May 2008 retroactive upgrade (eight total) was shifted back by one. Hope that clears the confusion.

I did note that discrepancy, and thank you for clarifying it. These announcers did a good job, but to me nothing will ever compare with Chris Schenkel and Bo Burton.

[@NotQuiteEpic]

I can't believe this was back in 1997 when the broadcast, the commentary, and the bowling alley all look like they're from the 70's.

[@louiscsanko3673]

Hoskins threw a ton of ball, but Rob Smith still had the Strongest Ball, and Rudy Kasimakis( Rudy REVS) Could hook a ball on ice back in the Day.

[@AcessDBpro]

3:41 This 300 was ordained. This was supposed to end up a double pinochle, a 4-6-7-10 split all the way but for two miraculous pins that split each pair, barely getting the strike.

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

Agreed. Hoskins was crossing many boards, and if he was nervous, he sure didn't show it. WRW was also putting a lot more revs on the ball and playing deeper than his trademark down and in.

[@nickv2601]

Any 300 game requires at least some degree of luck (in addition to huge skill), that frame was definitely part of his luck for this 300 game.

[@agila2009y]

yup, most 300 games usually one freak strike

[@guitarzan5328]

12:56 Dude left WRWJ hanging 😂

[@zjoyce1730]

I guess he figured the hug was good enough.

[@DASamX5453]

Come on baby! LMBO

[@pikespice]

2:42 I'm sure Indians fans don't want to be reminded of that '97 World Series :)

[@beaulaplume]

What pattern is this for these two to be playing so deep like that? Crazy angles for these dudes.

[@louiscsanko3673]

Hoskins throws a ton of ball!!! & WRW Jr. Rolled a 300 Recently using the 2 handed method, so Williams can make the ball move if he chooses!!!

[@louiscsanko3673]

It's called the " Whatever The PBA Tournament Director Felt Like Putting out Pattern.

[@louiscsanko3673]

All the Animal Patterns just starts to become Ridiculous!!! The Game has changed so much since the days where a Top Bowler brought 3 Balls to a Tournament. Now, Bowlers drill 3 balls for every game// 72 balls for 24 games bowled!!! I understand the Balls are a way for the Companies to make money, and it gives good paying jobs to pros that have become injured and can't compete any longer. The amount of Balls that are made in a year is mind Boggling!!!! I bet, in the right bowlers hands, an old cuda-c // or an original Zone can still give Bowlers huge scores!!! I get the technology= Improvement= profit, but it's almost comical when the ball gets more credit than the bowler who makes consistently great shots and avoids opens!!!

[@good03boy]

Did Steve go on to win the tournament? Surprised that Walter Ray hasn't thrown a 300 game on National TV.

[@FrankyboyLegend]

Yep he beat Rick Steelsmith in the final.

[@billyg1122]

Walter shot 299

[@michaeljamrozy4299]

Bowled next to Steve last night

[@Gman.h]

Is Alex hoskins his son

[@mpup54]

nope. I met this guy and his gf a few years ago. Nice couple.

[@NateCraven318]

No, they are actually not. I remember there was a professional bowler on TV sometime during the 2017 WSOB with the last name Pedersen, but was in no way related to Randy Pedersen.

No mention of actual bonus on any of those clips. Is there a source for the bonus for PBA TV 300 for this match? Thanks.
