This clip was taken from the
recent marathon on ESPN Classic. There is so much material here, I
didn't know where to start. The tournament was the 1979 Miller
Highlife Classic bowled on Jan 6, 1979, that was won by Carmon
Salvino (I have to get him posted here, too). Ernie caught my eye,
because I actually remember him bowling this tournament as it
happened on that particular Sat. afternoon. I was 13 at the time, and I can remember Ernie
and his outfits, and the Mr. USA thing. The tape made reference to
his "mental advisor" as well. It's interesting to see
that his form in 1979 did not differ much from the 1996 tournament
where he defeated Randy Pederson. Ernie ended up finishing in 4th
place, earning $5,000. At the time, he had the distinction of
winning the most money without ever earning a title. Hope you
enjoy the clip.
