That was so cool. 300-279 and the hometown boy with the big crowd cheering him on....Wow !
This is One of the Most Beautiful and greatest Matches In televised Bowling 🎳🥇🍻
I've thrown 19 in a row and many runs of 12 to 17 over 2 games but never got a legit 300.I quit trying in 2015 after nearly 40 yrs
Agreed. 💯
I was there at the Erie civic center to see Bob Learn bowl a perfect 300 game.
300-279! What amazing scores to see! I was excited to bowl my first 300 game. I’ve also bowled some 279 scores. This was a fun match to watch.
This is one of the all-time greatest matches. I've watched it many times and it's still exciting to watch. The master Johnny Petraglia and Mr. 300 Bob Learn Jr!
I remember watching this live on TV. That was probably the best match ever! 23 strikes a just 1 spare between them! Every ball was in the pocket for both. I've never bowled a 300 game in my 42 years of bowling. There is obviously skill and always a bit of luck.
@Doug Spooner lol. Maybe. I've had 9 in a row twice. That is as close as I got. I forget what they call your type of "300 game".
Fascinating that at least twice in PBA history, the person shooting a 300 beat another bowler who had achieved the same feat on TV, (Petraglia over Bob Benoit)
Sorry to correct you good sir but Petraglia beat WRW JR when he shot 300, Butch Soper beat Bob Benoit shooting 300 is what you were after =). And CK Moore shot his 300 against PB3 2 years before he shot his. pretty cool how theyre all connected. Jonny Gunther beat Don Johnson for his 300 when Don had the infamous 299 as well on TV.
That's happened plenty of times
This dude Bob Learn straight up lived 2 houses down from me in Erie as I was growing up. He legit was the nicest dude ever. He moved when I was young but he and my dad were good friends
I heard he was living in Harborcreek. I spent my High School years in North East and bowled at Eastway a couple of times.
@@MNsportsnut Yeah I lived in Wesleyville growing up, moved to Lawrence Park and went to Iroquois! His childhood home was around the corner. He moved when I was like 10, must’ve moved to Harborcreek!
Can never say it enough this is when bowling was bowling all the pressures.
Joe, you think the pressures are not their in today's P.B.A. Tour ?
What are you bowling today?
greatest match ever
Could you imagine rolling a 279 and losing to a 300.
The only way to get 279 is to bowl 11 strikes, including 3 in the 10th, and to go 9-spare in any other frame. Tough break. A total of 23 strikes were bowled between two players in regulation. (There have been only four matches in PBA history, none on TV, that involved two bowlers each getting 300 in regulation, and having to roll-off for the victory.)
Jonny Petraglia actually bowled the better game
@@AcessDBpro depends on the frame. If you spare in the first frame, it is a 290, second frame is 280. Had to be from the 3rd through the first shot of the 10th frame
I watched this on WXYZ Channel 7 Detroit, which was the ABC affiliate picked up, in my part of Canada at the time, Saint John, New Brunswick, on Fundy(fun-DEE) Cable, now Rogers Cable, Channel 7.
To me, the broadcast began at 4PM Atlantic Daylight Time on that Saturday afternoon, and this was the 1st time I ever saw a 300 perfect game, for $100,000(the prize amount it should be returned to, PBA...get on that XD), on a live broadcast of the Professional Bowlers Tour on ABC Sports.
I jumped out of whatever seat I was in in my living room then, and gave a bit of a loud 'YES!', because the 14-year old me was EXTREMELY happy to see someone as cool as Bob take down the big money like that. To me, he earned every dollar won, and then some.
And to also have it happen, basically, at home, in front of his people, made that a REALLY special thing for me to see. To hear their roar made my heart happy too.
=)
Hang on, you were in New Brunswick, yet picked up my hometown ABC channel?
@@roygoodhand1301 On cable, yes. The 1st ABC affiliate we had was WVII-TV in Bangor, Maine, but I think that it was 1989 when a change happened. o.o
Amazing! Just one spare between the 2 bowlers.
That Brunswick Zone shirt is one the coolest shirts out there.
Bob learn jr was awesome in front of his hometown crowd
Quit Commenting
My high is a 239 in Brooklyn way back in the 70’s...Maurice H Bank
I never saw anyone lose bowling a 279? UNBELIEVABLE Great match.
Greatest moment in Erie Pennsylvania sports history. I will never forget.
Gonna stay that way until the Sea Wolves win the Double-A title.
Unbelievable another 300-279 match. There are now two matches like this: Mike Aulby and David Ozio Bob Learn Jr. and Johnny Petraliga
Was amazing to watch this match. I jumped off the couch when that last ball was thrown. Growing up an hour from Erie, made it even better. I never threw a 300. My best was a 289 and several 250+ games. Felt bad for Johnny... throw 11 strikes and lose.
Petraglia was pure class in this match. He shoots 279, immediately gets out of the way, and gestures to the audience to settle down so Learn can finish with no distractions.
I actually watched this whole show when it aired back when, they made sure Bob learn won that event. In the next game he faces Parker Bohn 3 and never have I seen it but this once they actually gave him a redue on one of his shots. He ended up winning the match 280 to 279.
Really shocked Learn Jr was never inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame. He has records that no other pro has touched like amount of 300's, high 3 and 4 game televised series. He is one of the best to ever throw a ball.
From Erie live just a couple miles away from the civic center. Watched it with my mom and brother live.
No this is the best match ever it still hasn't nor ever will be beat
Interesting thing I noticed, Bob Learn here is the 1st person to bowl a 300 on AMF lanes, the 9 before him were all Brunswick. Out of 31 TV 300 games, 9 were in AMF alleys/lanes.
Crowd was going crazy! 🎳🔥

parker&johnny pure class
Petraglia was happy to be defeated. Very high level sportsmanship shown by him.
Could say that patraglia actually bowled better game, what a class act
Welcome to area bowling. Bo charitably referred to these as "ideal lane conditions". Yeah, that's for sure.
This guy lives in my dads neighborhood
I take lessons from him lol
Mr. Learn 300, Mr. Petraglia 279. 👍👍😎😎😎😎
279 and lose. Ouch.
Yeah. But it was kind of close to a house shot that day.
Aulby beat Ozio 300-279 on TV and Duke lost with a 280. Goebel shot 296 that game.
Gotta LOVE Nelson Burton, Jr. talking about Bob Learn, Jr:
"He leaves nothin' in the bag!!!"
"He doesn't throw (what we call) any weak sisters!" (either a 7 or 10)
Then about Johnny Petraglia: "He was involved in the Tet offensive, so nothing is feared by Johnny Petraglia..."
Didn't Bob go on to set the 4 game total pins record in this TV Final?
Stephen Short yes
Even the 4 game losing total beat the old mark
Yes he did. A 4 game total of 300, 270, 280, 279 for a total of 1, 129. Awesome Bowling Bob.
13:12 is that Eries Ron Palombi Jr. next to Stacey wearing a Earnie Schegel shirt? If so, he was one of the most underrated good bowlers on the tour in the late 1980s until he tore his wrist.
Yup
300-279?....on national TV on pro conditions then chance for 100k?....two badasses for sure.
Mr. 300.
Jesus looks like Johnny was throwing a Pearl quantum and learn was throwing the amazing ninja rpm?
THREE STRIKES EQUALS ONE 🦃
Imagine if Bob invested that 100k in a good aggressive stock what he would have today.
Apple was in the tank in 1996...
Johnny bowled a better game sometimes that’s how the pins fall
279, generally, is not a loser. But that day, it was.
Have bowled many Varipapa 300s,between 12 and 19 in a row over 2 games,never a legit one. Gave up in 2015,after 40 yrs +
Let’s be honest, if you’ve seen one of these 300 videos, you’ve pretty much seen them all.
Now that's when the PBA was at its best bigger crowds vocal crowds players getting excited yes I know they both had the first nine but then you watch today's product and the people throw the ball get a strike they sit down they don't do much a few of the
The current PBA product is dying I see that the president of the PBA and I believe she was also president of Valero has resigned they need some new ideas and better publicity for the PBA I still say the PBA is current website sucks
Bob could have beaten Jesus that day....lol
