Calling the action

Wednesday, September 26, 2007, 10:13 PM [General]

It won't be long before another season of the PBA Tour is televised on ESPN.Dave Ryan and Randy Pederson will call all the tenpin drama and excitement. My feelings about this team are mixed...Ryan still needs to work on his style,Pederson is improving with each passing year.Over the years,this sport has been blessed to have tremendous individuals doing play-by-play and color commentating.I always felt the two best to call a bowling match were Chris Schenkel and Fred Wolf.Schenkel did the Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC for 36 years,Wolf was the voice on the Championship Bowling series.As far as the commentary position was concerned,Billy Welu,Bo Burton and Earl Anthony stood out in my book.Welu's approach was relaxed,easy-going...Bo was more detail,more technical...and Earl was a bit of both.Others who were more than capable of handling these duties include Mike Durbin,Marshall Holman,Denny Schriner and Jay Randolph.Televised bowling has no doubt seen it's share of individuals that described,enlightened and entertained.
