Pro Bowlers Tour - 1980 Long Island Open highlights - Part 1 of 2

First of two parts. This match was too good to edit out any of it. This might be my all-time favorite "classic match" from this awesome era of pro bowling, featuring the two premiere players of the era, Mark Roth and Earl Anthony. This was also a "home game" for Roth.

Also featured on this telecast was 17-year-old Pete Weber, who was making his first national TV appearance. He's not included in this clip, and I may go back and post his match later if I still have it. But he played like a rookie and got beat pretty bad. So it's low on my list of priorities right now. Maybe later.

@TheBrassHole Agreed..Watching Walter Ray Williams is almost like watching Roth. WRW did not

seem to have the spare accuracy that Earl or Dick Weber had.

The old style of Anthony (the gratest ever) vs. the new style of Roth. Now every one bowls like Roth but wishes they were Anthony. :)

Bowling Oldies - I agree, this is one of the matches I'll never forget, featuring my two favorite bowlers ever - Earl and Mark Roth.
