Go back to never missing PBA on Saturday. Watched it at home even in labor with my first child
takes me back to a good time in my life when i watched this on Saturday afternoons. i loved finishing my weekend homework and watching the bowler's tour. the crowd was energetic and the announcers were intense. thanks for positing.
Pro bowlers tour followed by Wide World of Sports...ahh memories
Me too and my brothers. Was in it great, the people were so into bowlers back in the day. Love to bowl back then also. Great days, great times
Yep I used to do the same thing, good memories
Absolutely Sensational Game!!!!!
One of my all time favorite bowling matches. Johnny threw a nice, sweet looking hook ball which destroyed the pins. He had determination written all over his face. Walter knew he was done.
Well done Johnny. If you can do it we all can even a disabled adult like me. I’ve been bowling for 14 years I believe. I enjoyed it and I’ve been bowling ever since. My highest game scratch is 219. My highest game no tap is 241. I will get that 300 eventually. I’ll never give up bowling.
Double M 11/08 How are you disabled?
Ayush Maddikonda I have Cerebral Palsy. My right arm is my good arm. My left arm isn't that good. I use my left arm to hold paper down while writing. I also used to be in a wheelchair when I was little. When I was 3 years old I had leg surgery so I could walk. Sometimes I hate being disabled but I don't let that get in my way. I also have seizures from time to time that really gets on my nerves. Hopefully those things will go away for good sometime in the future. Another thing my eye sight isn't that good because of those seizures. I hope there will be a way to get my eyes fixed.
Double M 11/08 That is impressive that you bowl even with that condition. I just made my high school team, and there is a guy who trembles. Turns out he had a condition where he keep shaking and trembling. It doesn’t affect his bowling though. You don’t have to think yourself disabled, because you seem like an able guy. Good luck to you 👍🏽
Ayush Maddikonda thank you. Eventually when I stop messing up at bowling I'll get that 300.
This is a great thread. Js 🙂
Brooklyn boy... grew up watching him Saturdays and really he put bowling on my radar. We joined leagues and stars like Johnny Petraglia did it for us. Nice to see his comeback here on WABC TV.
The 11th made it exciting. Here we are in 2024 and I was rooting for him.
Johnny Petraglia was a great person and a super nice guy!
I mean, I think he still is LOL
I guess it’s hard to remember the situation twenty-five years later - but Petraglia was done. He was an old man in PBA terms.
Looking at the winners that year, it’s a murderers row back then. Monacelli. Voss. Weber. Williams Jr.. And the guys I forgot about were special too.... Husted. Goebel had a MONSTER season. John Mazza. Randy Pedersen. Heck guys like D’Entremont and Dennis Horan were great too.
That year. Those names, and fricking Johnny Petraglia - whose best season was almost twenty five years before this.... whose last win was almost fifteen years before this... old man Johnny flipping Petraglia rises from the ashes to do this?!? It’s bowling so it’s forgotten, but it’s one of the great sporting moments of my life.
Poor WRWJ he must have the record for having the most televised 300 games thrown against him.
close between he and Parker bohn III LOL
GDisc Karaoke The Wade Howard of bowling then. (Many dart players have accomplished a nine dart finish while playing against Wade Howard)
@@johnniec2861 seriously haha 🤣 I bowled in a few pro-ams and I had the honor of bowling six frames with Johnny (my favorite bowler ever) and Parker Bohn III. Chris Barnes too. Almost forgot about him. What classy people they were too. Absolute gentlemen.
Today I bowled 12 consecutive strikes for the first time, but consecutively over 2 games. Hopefully I'll get the 300 one day.
I bowled 1 year. I actually shot a 245.
Back in the day that was called a Varipapa 300. Andy Varipapa, one of the first professional bowlers in the 30s and 40s, said that any 12 strikes in a row should count as a 300.
I rolled 15 strikes in a row at Japan Town Bowl. First Fram solid 10 pin and then 15 in a row. Shot a 290. Don't remember 2nd game. Not bad for 14yr old.
@@Lizardking413please post positive proof pronto
Pics preferred
@@Lizardking413 My record is 294.
He was a class act. A great bowler.
Strike number 11 the ball drove straight through and chopped the 5 off the 8, and it looks like the head pin came off the wall to take out the 8! A bad break followed by a lucky break!
It was the only lucky strike of the match! Insane 300
Petraglia un ícono de la PBA, leyenda pura. Aún da lecciones, recuerdo cuando las bolas llevaban los nombres de grandes jugadores y ya figuraba el en los 80's
Earl Anthony and Johnny petraglia got me want to do well in bowling wish I would have seen this I saw Earl shoot a 299 on tv
Earl left a solid 9 pin on this 12th ball. That was a rough break and should have definitely had a 300 game.
@@dirklerxstpratt2112 yeah that was tough
Congratulations, Johnny!
The most classy bowler ever!
Ducat's Imperial Lanes, no longer standing. Was my favorite house to bowl.
I liked Airport Lanes. Now we bowl over at Southwyck.
@@naughtyboy3604 Only bowled at Airport once or twice. Twin Oaks was the worst, but no one can bowl there now, it burned down August 18.
This match takes me home to my dad. 1994 was a good year.
What a 10th frame.... 8 pin nailed to the floor on stike eleven .. LAST shot is almost a pin left standing up AFTER SLIDING ACROSS THE LANE !!! Wow !!
- See a friend of mine at 8:30 mark... crazy !! ;D
This is one of...if not the best 300 bowled by anyone. In my opinion, the only "lucky" strike in the match was the 11th shot. Every other shot in that frame by Johnny petraglia was a masterpiece. If anyone knows who shot 12 masterpieces for 300, please tell me! This is the most skilled 300 I've seen yet.
Bob Benoit buried all twelve shots for his 300.
Johnny Green Beret 2 Tours Vietnam
Legendary!!! Goals
Well that was fun.!
Johnny greatest
I never saw Larry Lichstein move so fast, coming out onto the approach to give Johnny a hug.
Johnny was using a slate blue Quantum. That's the same ball I used when I shot my only 300 and my only 800 series.
An 800 series is some serious bowling. Nice.
Perry: I believe it's a Forest Green Quantum. One of the very first Quantums released by Brunswick.
My first bowling ball was an LT-48 Johny Petraglia signature Brunswick
Just look how smooth johnny is
I think that he was letting his emotions get to him a bit toward the end could have blown it for him but somehow he managed to finish it out. From experience sometimes you just get locked in and you just keep finding the pocket.
Poor me. I've bowled 11 Varipapa 300s but never a legit one
Man that's some unluckiness right there, knowing that you can string the strikes together (that many times no less) but never in the way you want it to.
Man. I was number 301 to like this video... Yw.
Would you like a cookie?
I loved watching lefties like Johnny Petraglia and Earl Anthony throw those sweeping hooks. I watched this show every Saturday in the late 60s and early 70s, and I remember watching JP roll that 300 game!
I think in the postgame interview he mentioned having his kid's college tuition covered by that $100K prize!!
Earl never through a sweeping hook. He was straight up the boards for the most part.
Johnny Bowling
Sadly, the alley where this took place is no longer there.
I love watching Walter Ray lose to a lefty.
How much side weight did Johnny have on that ball. Is that an axis hole? I used to have one on my ultra angle.
Funny
Johnny and Norm Duke shot 300 vs. WRW jr.
Steve Hoskins and Wes Malott too.
전설
on the 11th, Head Pin came back and told that 8 to GET OUTTA HERE
For those of you that put a dislike is sad
I am finna put a dislike just because of your WRWJ hate
Look how smooth John is compared to Walter.
I still love Walter Ray losing
Why did so many bowlers get on their knees to beg for a strike back then? You never see that today anymore
different era. i miss the intensity of late 80s and early 90s bowling.
@Michael Duncan yeah I agree. I wish I would've been around to bowl in that Era.
Money Payout in the tournaments was much more back then too,
Walter took all the pressure off him when he missed that easy spare in the 2nd
Such a great victory when today's so-called 'athletes' complain
after receiving $23 MILLION dollar contracts.
He made enough money to teach young bowlers, but I am left handed, so no interest in Walter
I just like watching Walter Ray lose anyway
first
It barely counts when a lefty does it.
Don't be butthurt, little fella.
