The date was Feb. 27, 1982 at the Imperial Lanes in Toledo, Ohio. It's a day that I will never forget watching. Earl Anthony owned the PBA National, and Imperial Lanes. Earl, the defending champion, qualified 1st, and needed to taste victory to become the first PBA player to reach $1 million in career earnings. He was up against my friend, Charlie Tapp, who had qualified 5th, and plowed through Dave Davis, Steve Westberg, and Mike Durbin in order to challenge Earl for the title. It wasn't Tapper's day as Earl was victorious, 233-191, and earned his 5th PBA National, and the $38,000 top prize. Earl would come back in 1983 to defend his title, once again, ending up with 6 PBA National titles. Sit back, and enjoy the final game of the 1982 PBA National.

I met Charlie as part of an article I wrote about a PBA tour stop in California in the '70s. He was a very nice guy and very accomodating for a guy like me who was just doing a freelance piece.

I can't believe Earl Anthony won so many titles in such a short amount time

I dont like the way Schenkel calls Charlie a "non winner"... Charlie will always be a winner in my book!!

Mr. Bowling -- you seem to have a lot of connections in the bowling world. Any chance you could find the 1983 PBA National? I believe it was Earl's 41st and final win on the PBA tour. Thanks in advance.

Do you know Charlie?
