Archive for 2007 PBA Bowling
In 1998, Steve Hoskins returned to the bowling center where he shot 300 and won the Rochester Open in 1997. Would he repeat as champion, or would the man known as "Duuuuuuuuuuuke" come out on top? Close, exciting match with those snazzy golden pins. Part 2 of 2.
After its successful run on ABC, PBA telecasts moved to CBS, with commentators Gary Seidel and Marshall Holman providing the commentary. Also new were the gold pins used for the telecast. The gold pins were a few ounces heavier than normal bowling pins, with the supposed effect of keeping scores low and matches competitive. The telecasts lasted an hour long, with a three-man preliminary match between the #2, #3, and #4 seeds with the best score meeting the #1 seed in the final. In the final of the 1998 Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open, top seed Tim Criss (with a different hairstyle...hmm...) met Brian Voss. It's a great match. Part 2 of 2.
