1984 Quaker State Open - Del Ballard vs. Bob Handley, pt 1

The date was January 28, 1984 at the Forum Lanes in Grand Praire Texas for the $125,000 Quaker State Open.

The opening match featured #5 Bob Handley vs. #4 Del Ballard Jr.

Del was only 20 at the time, and this represented his 2nd career TV appearance. It was not the best performance by either bowler, but the match came down to the final ball. Let's join Chris Schenkel and Nelson Burton Jr. with the call.

There were 19 open frames in this telecast. Scores at this point were low on telecasts due to players maybe learning how to use urethene balls.

On a side note...these two players met in the opening game of the 1990 Bowler's Journal Florida Open, with Ballard coming out on top 183-167.
