two greatest of all times

I can remember my dad calling Earl a hipster-dufuss when he let his hair grow out. He used to have a flattop.

During his dominant stretch he was a machine. The way he bowled was all about accuracy.

boring or not Mucho...he's the f***in man

rest in peace ea

The left lane messed Mark up here. It was unfair to say that he made "foolish mistakes". He relies on his monster hook and it wasn't happening on that lane. Combine that with bowling a guy like Earl Anthony and you are at a great disadvantage.

I bowled with earl in buffalo he was cool .

[Tata996]

What an honor that must have been. People of his caliber seem nonexistent these days.

[buyystocks]

[IlGreven]

Thanks for jinxin' him, Bo! :P

[monsterbowler]

nothing but end over end roll for Earl. Subtly powerful. straighter is greater.

[Muchodelcrazy]

Anthony has one of the most boring swings... but that's whats awesome about it! it just works!

[super9mario9]

[buyystocks]

STEADY eddy beats a cranker 80% of the time.

[gamemeister27]

@buyystocks Well a typical cranker definitely, most "crankers" learned to do that to take advantage of house conditions. Doesn't matter where they throw it as long as it is right and they start left. Against a cranker who is also very very accurate, it is a closer match. The greater accuracy of Earl is matched by the better pin carry of the slightly less accurate cranker.
