Cook "Crosses Up" Foes
Steve Cook mixed eight crossover strikes together with various pocket hits to roll 733 for three games and win his fifth PBA title in the $100,000 Long Island Open.
Cook got the best out of his most errant shots to average 242 during the championship round, including a 255-225 title-game win over Earl Anthony. Cook also defeated Pete Weber, 237-235, and Wayne Webb, 241-227, after Weber began with a 227-203 win over 1978 Long Island Open champ Johnny Petraglia.
Anthony, who won the annual Garden City tournament in 1979, 1980 and 1981, was going after a PBA record fourth straight victory. He gained the top-seeded position by 15 pins over Webb after taking the lead from Petraglia during the final day of match play.

Steve cook was one of favorites back in the 80's
Steve Cook puts a tremendous amount of roll on the ball.
All great bowlers. This was one of those classic PBA Saturday afternoon broadcasts ! Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
A great group of 5 in the finals. Steve Cook was rock steady. It is always good to see his gorgeous wife Candy also. Thanks for the video.
The tournament where Bo kept referring to Pete Weber as “Young Weber.”
i didn't know Johnny was a Vietnam Vet. cool!
13:55. $800 for a VCR. In '84 I got my first one for 400. 3 yrs ago I bought a brand new DVD player for 20 bucks. You can have "the good old days"

We hollowed out our manufacturing base and threw untold numbers of men out of work so that we could have cheap toys. It wasn't a great trade off in the end.
Thanks for all these wonderful uploads
Glad I don't need a VCR any more on sale for only 800 dollars.
50:45. Chris says Cook came back with a perfect pocket hit. It was the wrong pocket !
Eight crossover strikes for the big guy?
The first, second, and semi final matches were exciting and close

Pete "Badass" Weber, on his way to become one of the all-time greats. He's got that competitive fire in his eyes.

Not this time he didn’t. 😜 better to miss wildly and crossover than miss by a little!
