1982 Seattle Open - Bob Handley vs. Tommy Hudson - Pt1

You're in for a real treat with this clip. The date was June 5, 1982 at the Leilani Lanes in Seattle. Bob "Hookin" Handley was coming off a 265-245 victory over Jeff Bellinger. Tommy Hudson, who qualified 1st, needed a victory to earn his 10th PBA title, and thus earn a spot in the Hall of Fame. This was a fantastic match that went down to the very last ball, with Hudson prevailing 247-238 to capture his 10th title, which happened to be the last of his career, and the $12,000 first prize. I hope you enjoy the clip.

Great match -- I only wish there were more Bob Handley videos. I loved the way he put everything into the ball every shot.

I still have a Tommy Hudson LT-48 ball I got back in 1980. Still does a pretty good job even on todays lanes.

Once again Tommy Hudson does the sign of the cross and got the winning strike. I wonder if Bob Handley would have done the sign of the cross what would have happened?
