J o a n Ta y l o r s . . . . . . . . . . . Te n P i n R a p
Gearing up for the 47th Tournament of Champions coming up the week of April 9 in Las Vegas, the PBA issued some milestones in the tournaments history. This of course evoked my own personal memories of the great senior prom of professional bowling, or at least thats what it was back in the day. The inaugural event was held in 1962 in Indianapolis and had a twogame three-player final. Joe Joseph of Lansing, Michigan won with a 480 and claimed a big $15,000. In 1965 the Firestone Corporation adopted the event and for the next 28 years it became the Firestone Tournament of Champions, referred to as The Firestone. Billy Hardwick won that year and his $25,000 prize check was said to be $5,000 more than what Jack Nicklaus won for winning the Masters that year. In 1966 the event moved to Riviera Lanes in Akron, a stones throw from the magnificent Firestone Country Club, where players enjoyed pre-tournament rounds of golf, an opening night banquet (later, their Hall of Fame inductions), and even the wives had their own dinner. Firestone paid for major media peoples hotel rooms and meals, setting up a big pressroom in the bowling center. They ran a pool for the writers, which consisted of naming the order of finalists, and eventual champion, and if there were a tie, a combined final round score was guessed. The winning writer received a set of four brand new Firestone tires. For the twenty-fifth tournament anniversary, all past winners were invited to Akron. Firestone also hosted a fun pro-am tournament after every victory banquet. The writers, Firestone executives, PBA founder Eddie Elias and his wife Peggy, sponsors, and 24 professional bowlers took to the lanes for fun and photos. Each amateur who signed up received a bright red Firestone shirt with his or her name in huge white letters across the back. Even when Firestone had to stretch the budget, some press people were still brought in and had a free hotel room. One year, in 1991, there was a 40-minute delay of the show with a bomb threat. ABC-TV showed the finalists playing ball in the parking lot of the lanes. Dave Ozio won that year. Alas, Firestone decided to drop the sponsorship and Bridgestone Tire company picked it up, but only for one year. Brunswick stepped in and saved the sponsorship from 1995 to 2000. Eventually the tournament moved to Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut and stayed there through 2007. And now, as of 2008, the event has been staged in the huge Red Rock, Las Vegas complex. Probably the biggest news that came of that was in 2010 when New Jerseys Kelly Kulick became the first woman to win a PBA tour title, defeating Chris Barnes 265195. This writer was in Arlington TX that week for the Grand Opening of the Bowling Campus, but suffice to say a group of us was glued to the television in a hotel room for that show. Last year I was at Red Rock when Mike Koivuniemi rolled a 299 game in the semi-final match, winning over a regional bowler, Tom Dougherty, who was encouraged in the tenth frame to make his score an even 100. Mike went on to defeat Tom Smallwood 269-207 for a $250,000 payday. While it is still an exciting tournament, especially since the PBA includes an evening for its Hall of Fame inductions, it will probably never compare to the early days of the Firestone. Johnny Petraglia, who had to get a special furlough from the US Army to compete in his first Firestone, said that the entire city of Akron, Ohio would turn out for a parade of champions. Each bowler got the use of a big car (often a convertible) for the week. There were banners along the main road. Welcoming signs were everywhere. The press was treated to dinner every night at lavish local restaurants. Each year on the day of the finals, the press and finalists had the Champions breakfast and press conference. Local volunteers took vacation days from their regular jobs to work at the tournament. The winner received a white jacket in addition to a major title and big check. And here I have joined the remember when club, something I thought was silly back in the day.
