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

Part two of two. Roth and Anthony exchange strikes right down to the 10th frame. This is classic match play, with the two premiere bowlers of this era, both of them in dead stroke.

Bowlers are wearing a black patch on their shirts in remembrance of bowling legend Dick Battista.

Great match. If you've never seen it, I won't spoil it by telling you what happened. Classic.

Also included here is the post-tournament interview with the winner. Very funny.

@Bradley75062 Read the narrative posted with the video. They were wearing patches in remembrance of bowling legend Dick Battista.

earl anthony was not a smart man???.......your a asshole

When did Earl stop sporting the crew cut?

[20alphabet]

Although a phenomenal bowler, Earl Anthony was not a smart man... and he drank. The truth is numerous high-ranking PBA bowlers of the day believe he didn't understand that what he said was funny. That idea seems credible as Earl continues to describe his effort in equally funny terms even AFTER Bo wisecracked. Unfortunately this was bowling's golden era, never to return. Those who are too young to remember real bowling have definitely missed something. Earl Anthony was the best that ever was.
