Mike Lichstein at the "Hot Shot Challenge"

[cal0067]

$100.00 REWARD. If anyone can turn up my father on one of these tournaments. "Hot Shot Challenge". west springfield ma, at riverdale lanes. My fathers name was Butch Lanney. He holds the ball high and it covers his face from the camera. He also took 3rd place. It was a great match. Email me if you find it. $100 buck to anyone who can turn it up.

A shame but Riverdale lanes today is nothing more than a parking lot for Balise Toyota...54 more lanes lost to rising values of real estate nationwide....

Where can I find these tournaments? My late father played in one and finished 3rd. It be great to find that tournamnet. Any info would be great.

@cal0067 When my neighbor Bill Walko died I took his VCR tapes. This one was "HSC" Promotional tape. There are more matches on it. Send me your address and I'll mail the VCR tape to you.

thats my dad

i know lich in real life, he is a phonomenal bowler

[racingbowler5203]

does he still throw with the same style? i'd imagine that would be tough on the arm

[Wasseem18]

kinda, he takes alot more time at the beginning but still has that pause in the middle and i think he comes over the top more doesnt bend his wrist that much

@racingbowler5203 , if you can believe it, he's still bowling, and his style, though similar, is even stranger than it was in the video. Check him out on USTREAM's video of the 2010 USBC Open where he bowled doubles with his PBA Hall of Famer dad Larry.

@1953nagarjuna, I can't find that video, but I would like to see it. Could you please give a link?

I met Mike Lichstein several years ago when he competed in a PBA Eastern Regional event in my hometown of Staten Island, NY. Not only is he an incredible bowler, but he's one heck of a nice guy too. Thanks for the posting.
