[chiefyboy99]

[BaseFury]

The Ebonite Mag 9! WOOOO!

[spookielocc]

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

[kboss2011]

@spookielocc i know it's weird, i dunno if it's the mustache and the hairdo or if it's just faster aging back then, but it wasn't too long ago so who knows

[snhtown9]

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

[Tata996]

Earl is the greatest precision bowler EVER. No-one today could touch him under the conditions when he was king.

@Tata996 *COUGH* Walter Ray *COUGH*

[bownguyen316]

baker's game is pretty much the same. as in the clash of the champions last year.

[top2pear]

That's as much as I remember Earl ever talking during a show.

Was this his first win after his heart attack?

[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.

[stormBIGbowling]

wow this makes me admire Earl Anthony even more he came back from all kinds of defeats and to come back from a heart attack and still win that is true skill
