Thankyou for posting this. Boy, how I wish Earl was in his prime today! I miss him so. And, Chris too.
Thankyou Bowling Oldies. Much Appreciated. Such Timeless, Classic Bowling.
How the hell did Earl do it?!
His ball just rolled so simple and plain and slow like it could never strike, then it touches the pins and they blow apart!
It's like magic.
He was the greatest of all time
The best bowler in the history of the game to ever throw a bowling ball in earl anthony forever my idol sad he died too soon at 63 and the way he died by falling down the stairs
I read a report that said for Earl to sustain a head injury of that magnitude, he must have had a heart attack, which caused the fall. He had suffered one heart attack in his early 40s and it was a weak link.
He was 💣
Yeah, don't drink and walk by stairs.
That was heartwrenching 😢
Could watch Earl bowl all day--so smooth. RIP
Yeah, don't drink and drive. And definitely don't drink and walk by stairs.
@@sawnose4775 So what does that have to do with Anthony?? He was at a friend's house, and got up in the middle of the night, fell down some stairs, from a possible heart attack, not drunk. I have the new biography on Anthony, his friend gave this account. You may want to amend your statement.
@@gdobie1west988 Nah......fiction is always more interesting than the truth! If it IS fiction, that is.
A time long gone. Watching Pro Bowling with Chris and Nelson every Saturday on ABC was terrific.
at 9:47 Chris Schenkel sums it up - "Home Run hitter, knock out puncher, long distance driver, whatever...that's what Anthony is!" Well said, Chris...
I knew Earl Anthony,and PDW and WRW are no Earl Anthomy.40+ titles and 40+ 2nds in half the time. That's consistentcy,that's greatness.I rest my case.
When Earl came to Milwaukee to play the Miller Tournament during bowling's peak years through the 70's, it was one of the big events of the year in a snowy Milwaukee winter
The smoothest coolest cat EVER
Yep. Simply the greatest player ever.
The Goat Of Bowling. EARL ANTHONY
Truly the best left hander there ever was. He was a complete class act.
Earl Anthony winning in Milwaukee. How nice.
Milwaukee is scummy like you said.
Not that I was ever any good, but I started bowling and watching bowling because of Earl Anthony. He made it look sooo easy.
Same. My dad bowled in a tournament when Anthony was also bowling.
Seattle Washington in the 70's.
That's because he bowled at least 150-300 games a week to make it look easy 😊
I met him that year at bowling seminar. Strachotas milshore bowl. Or the year before. But he's so nice and smooth. One of those years he bowled or Governor Anthony Earl.
This is heartwrenching 😢
That strike in the 6th frame by Anthony was hot.
Anthony has a 537 series in only two games, higher than me in three games :)
Awesome Match.☝️👍
I am a left handed bowler during early years, i just have the same style approach like earl, the more relax your approach,with the right timing,you tear the pins apRt,velieve me, i know the power of earl!!!!
Good bowling by Earl, don't see him get that fired up often
6:56 so good
His best shot of the day.
Is this one of the first appearances of a "spare ball" about at 1:10 in?
Nah, we had spare balls in the '70s. I remember throwing the soft shell Columbia 300 Yellow Dot (75 durometer reading, the lowest allowable in PBA play -- ABC allowed it as low as 72). Some players carried something like at C300 Blue Dot (92 durometer, much harder surface) for spares. It also came in handy for strikes at times. I had one, and when the rest of the lane was chewed up, I'd move out to the ditch with that thing and play up the 1 board. Tore things up with it.
He would have been 81 years old in 2019
Yes it is Miller time! The great Earl Anthoney does it again
why cant bowling be on tv again and in the olympics rather than that curling crapola
Too bad they didn't show Mike Stienbach as he bowled in the Mens league at Munster Lanes in Indiana. Also Ricky Sajek and Jon O'drobinak. Sorry for the spelling. I bowled in that league in 1983.
Earl and Suzie are such an adorable couple!!
Best ever❤
Sad to say but Earl Anthony passed away in New Berlin, not far away from where he won this title.
Back when bowling was "hard" . lol . The whole tv show averaged 235.5 with Earl averaging 268.5 for his 2 games .
Earl the Pearl.
(yeah, I know; that was Earl Monroe of NBA fame...)
I like how he handed the check to Susie almost immediately.
Good boy, Earl. He knows which side his bread is buttered on...
and Earl Strickland
Back in the day when Don Mattingly bowled.
It's really refreshing to see the pros dressed nicely in bowling shirts and not being walking billboards advertising for the ball companies. Oh yes, and real bowling where you actually had to hit your target.
I agree!
Two handed bowlers make me ill.
Incorrect take
@@jesse75🤡
Notice how he hands his wife the check, and he holds the trophy 🏆 💰
For the life of me, I will NEVER figure out what made Earl that good.
Simple and repeatable stroke plain and simple
He hit that pocket better and more consistent than any bowler I've ever seen.
He also practiced 300-350 games a week for six years to prepare before going out on the tour full time in 1970. That'll do it. But there was never anyone like him and doubt there ever will be.
@defiledhorror It's repetition and pocket percentage. He had about 8 revs and not a lot of ball speed. Bent elbow. Just a total natural.
The quite Assassin.
Hell no
