Thank you, Mr. Bowling! This brings back wonderful memories of Saturday afternoons -- that great brass to open the telecasts; the kindly baritone of one of broadcasting's true gentlemen, Chris Schenkel; and the youthful enthusiasm of Nelson Burton Jr. Always like seeing big Steve Cook. Never forget when he started with the first 10 in the title match at the '81 Firestone.

Many of us think that that Bob Handley was one of the most exciting bowlers to watch in the 1980's. He generated a tremendous amount of power- and fan reaction with his delivery, and definitely brought the two commentators into this match. I always rooted for him and felt that he should have won more tournaments. I was rooting for him in this match. However, when I saw Mr. Hannah's baby daughter in her pink dress after his victory I felt happy for his family. The little girl would be 34 or so now. Time flies, for sure. Mr. Handley is just about 70 now!

Bob Handley Rolls a truck of a ball!!! His strikes are LOUD👍👍

He was my hero when I was a kid bowler. If you didn't crank, you were a wussy....lol. Now that I'm in my 50s, I see what a bulldog like,say, Mike Durbin was with his straight line style. So damn steady and tenacious he was. Watching all these now, you see how sound the down and in player was. Weird how you see things when you get old...😉

You're very welcome. I have the 1981 Firestone with Steve Cook winning posted somewhere on youtube. That's one of my all time favorite shows! Glad you've enjoyed what I've been posting.

Cook missing that 3 pin was the gag of the century

He was the ultimate CHOKER!! I remember the tournament he missed back to back 6 pins!! He SUCKED!!

Just a reminder about Hooking Bob Handley: the average teacher salary in 1985-86 was $25,000/year. Going on the tour was totally the right thing to do financially.

Tandy by Radioshack!! Holly crap, I remember those computers! Watching these commercials is like going into a time machine

The conditions were tough if you came up high in the pocket. Never take any spart shots for granted. The two Steve's were winners off the lanes. The ABC camera has always loved Candi Cook and Nancy Fehr was herself gorgeous. There was nothing like bowling on Saturdays with Chris and Nelson and then watching WWOS with the legendary Jim McKay.

the semi final match was a very close one

11.03. Is that actor Frank Converse in the Quaker Stare ad? The voice in the True Value ad sounds like Pat Summerall.

Bob Hadley is a beast

Bo's words about certainties in bowling always lead to disaster: "Count this one in the bag." Nope! It happened so often over the years with so many bowlers, it was like the Kiss of Death.

That's the Bo Burton curse! I would pay him to keep quiet while I bowled.

Andrew Phillips Mark Roth and Earl Anthony have bowled some exciting matches

it was often asked if the bowler would rather be top seed where all they have to do is win game for title or 3-4-5 seed who is better acclimated to the lanes. I myself, especially HERE would rather be 4-5 seed so i have a potential 4 shots at a perfect game. I have heard question answered many many times and not once have i heard MY answer lol. surprising

Handley winning that game over Cook is the perfect example of why you never give up.

interesting contraption that Hannahs is wearing on his arm. it's definitely not a wrist support, but either a homemade device or a medical support, perhaps to prevent him from cupping his wrist too much.

I looked up Mr. Handley wondering if his body of work was enough to be inducted into PBA HOF. 4 in a row? that should be enough BY ITSELF. Any info in this regard would be appreciated

Bo said if Fehr took one of his fingers out when bowling,he would get zero for that shot because it's illegal but, Gary Dickinson always takes a finger out of the hole to shoot his spares and he's not penalized.

katanakeith I would assume that's because Fehr had 5 holes in his bowling balls (four fingers and the thumb) because of wrist problems.

Every ball is allowed one unused hole for adjusting the balance of the ball. For Gary Dickinson, who doesn't use a balance hole, the unused hole is acting as the balance hole. No violation.

Nelson Burton Jr. was a JINXER. An equal opportunity jinxer thank goodness. Was i the only one who knew what was going to happen in last ball thrown in Handley vs. Cook match? i doubt it

There's no way Ted Hannahs didn't pull up to the center in a '78 Camaro, smoking a Marlboro and wearing a leather jacket with a Judas Priest shirt on.

You don't see back to back 'Sour Apples' that much....lol. especially with all the power today. Fehr threw a weak ball, obviously.

Bob Handley intimidated most pba pro bowler.

Sissy wristers
