The 1982 Showboat Invitational was 1 of the ABC's Professional Bowlers Tour telecasts that the ABC station where I happen to live in (WYTV-33, Youngstown, Ohio) didn't carry in the early 1980's.
Not quite downtown... Boulder Strip... but I miss it dearly also...

I only remember James making one more show after this one. His career got off to a hot start and quickly faded.

Pete Weber Looks like He is playing Hooky , and cut.class to Bowl this event.
Steve miserak just showing off legendary
James Miller puts a tremendous amount of roll on the ball.
Did Steve Martin said the “F” word at 29:02 while missing the 10 pin? No wonder in the 80’s that a professional bowler gets away with swearing haha.
