A great performance by Rick Lawrence throughout this whole show, especially knowing that he had to beat some of the absolute very best on TV to win his first title. 1:03:38 is still one of the best breaks I've ever seen on TV!!!!

I remember watching this show live. I was 17 years old and I thought if Rick Lawrence could win a title, I definitely could. A bit cocky and naive maybe, but still an interesting memory.

This and Steve Hoskins in 1997, I think it was tripped out the big four in the middle of his match was incredible to see.

1990's Northrock.....loving the lefties! At the 1993 Open, I asked Walter what was the best way to score. He said, "Stand on the left side and throw a backup ball." 😂😂😂

The constant crowd noise was a gimmick that was used during the 1998 and 1999 seasons.

It's either silence or constant noise that helps the bowlers. Recently we have the fans chanting now while bowlers are on the approach.

EnigmaZero, Did you think the 98-99 gimmick of louder crowds and golden pins was a good or bad move for the PBA tour?

The ones they used on the Tour were made by Brunswick and had a black crown at the neck of the pin.
