What a great piece of history to see the video of Chris Shenkel receiving his Emmy lifetime achievement award for 50 years of broadcasting! One of the greatest broadcasters in history and a fine gentleman more importantly!

This was one of the first bowling events I watched on ABC Sports and it made me a bowling fan for life. Thanks for the upload.

1993 was still the 80s confirmed.

[@LowEnd31st]

Snell would have possibly won a tournament if he didn’t throw a spinner

[@b-chill3493]

43:01 Columbia 300 Power Torq ball, it was my fav ball back in the day (besides the red pearl urethane Hammer), I won a ton of jackpots with this ball... The commercial was trying to say it was better than the AMF Ninja (in a little racist way IMO), the Hammer, and the Rhino Pro balls (Columbia's own product!)

[@christopherbramwell8262]

Mike Aulby is truly a wonderful human being. Mike & Tami make a perfect husband & wife.

[@JosephN14445]

Del made those lanes look stupid easy! He was always one of my favorites to watch.

[@mrwp819300]

I love how Bo spoke about how if Pete changed his shot, he'd carry that 10 pin. Bo may be a great commentator and may have won a few but he definitely ain't no Pete Weber. And i absolutely detest Pete Weber.

[@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847]

I met him in Dublin, CA for at a junior all-star banquet in 2004. He's a lot nicer in person.

[@denniskavanagh4587]

If Walter Ray Williams is supposed to be so good how come I haven't seen him on TV?

[@BlahKDubstep]

Because he bowls on the senior tour?

[@doctorrobert60]

With the powerful balls and synthetic lanes I have left the 8 10 split 4 times from the left side. I am sure was rare when Aulby left it in his match with Vespy.

[@NateCraven318]

1:20:38 Reenacting that 1991 event!

[@schoolcraftT]

He did it! - Chris Schenkel

The mullet is still alive and still looks bad

[@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847]

I started bowling in 1999 and my first reactive resin ball was the teal Rhyno. You mean to tell me I was throwing a ball that was almost a decade old???

Had I gotten training from Pete Weber I would have been just as good as him if not better! I have a very similar delivery, same available power too. Today the sport has changed so dramatically from the 70's-80's. I am regretful of having given up on this sport way back when. That's life.

[@JSmith-zr2ve]

Sure, Jan.

[@beeemm2578]

Had your aunt had a beard, she'd be your uncle, too.

[@zedsodead]

Yeah Jan, tell us more about your "boyfriend."😅

[@schoolcraftT]

1:20:38 He did it!

[@ballyman12]

Bowling died when Jeremy Sonnenfeld shot 900 Anyone remember him?

[@AwesomeFilmsify]

I actually met him once. Im from Nebraska as he is. I bowled in sun valley lanes, the house he shot that 900. I was doing a college tryout, he was at one of the end pairs. Biggest dickhead I’ve ever met in my life.

[@anthonyventimiglia2244]

. ? protrate. Cancer view-

[@tomcerra6930]

I hated when they went to the king of the hill format, it was anti climatic as you can see Weber didn't care about losing that match because he already won the title. And Weber hates to lose. Kim's a doll.

[@b-chill3493]

At 27:27 Bo Burton talks about a "Varapapa 300", the guy that he is referring to is in the commercial at 42:07 shooting a trick shot picking up the 4-6-7-10 with 2 bowling balls

[@watson956]

Curse of the Announcer, however ! :(

[@LowEnd31st]

That’s not a varipapa 300…

[@gregamerson9172]

Varapapa 300 is a combined 12 in a row over 2 games

[@mikerichardson7053]

Are those resin balls?

[@jasonhoppe3667]

Vespi Aulby and snell threw resin. Weber and Ballard are using urethane.

[@gixxergarry]

Kim was hot...

[@karansarat]

Not to be racist or anything, but where did all the Europeans go? It's all chinese people now in Markham

[@LowEnd31st]

Wut?

[@BlahKDubstep]

Da fuq?

[@seymourbutts563]

They really didn't understand ball motion back then the way they do now
