Thanks for posting. Brings back good and bad memories.
One of my uncles worked as a pinsetter Mechanic for John at G and T lanes.
He always snuck me in the back door of the bowling alley where the machines were.
So if I had been walking around in the front, and I saw John, I always hid from him.
I was just a teenager.
My uncle later worked at Robinhood Lanes too. By then I was grown up.
But still afraid of John.
I’m watching this in 2024 and would love to see today’s Bowlers back with These Same Rubber balls and Wooden Lanes!
"When you get that 11th strike the crowd really gets excited because they know that one more means a perfect game."
Brilliant analysis.
Back in the day when you couldn’t buy “ hook in a box”
10 G's in 1969 was no joke.
And a car as well.
@@emmbee1906 Right! My dad was in his 2nd or 3rd year as a public school teacher in 1969, and I bet it took him two years to earn $10K.
like $80,000 roughly
And in 2022 a 300 gets you 10 G"s..Now thats a joke lol
@@jamesddubz I know! In the 80s it actually went up to 100k. Why they lowered it I have no idea. It's not like it happens all the time, even now with the better equipment. To date there have only been 34 televised 300s.
You see the sportsmanship..Everyone is hugging everyone because they are really happy for him..Vintage era's are the best!!!
With Keith Jackson on the call...WHOA NELLIE!
I remember watching this on tv live in Ashland, Or. cool,
$10,000 then is the same as nearly $100,000 today! Several of Guenther’s strikes, were light hits, that Billy Welu used to say “hit ‘em thin and watch them spin!”
Hit em light , Hit em Right :) , but when it came to finishing it,, he Hit the 8th thru 12th shots FLUSH !!!!
Sam Cooley just did #31 and got 10 grand, no car either.
Hit-um Lite, Watch the Flight!!
I saw this live on tv back in the day
great delivery, form and release, picture perfect
Shameful any house ever removed their Brunswick Gold Crown masking units and ball returns. The Brunswick Gold Crown series hardware is classic for all times now.

this is a memorable 300 game from johnny guenther
Keith Jackson is doing the play-by-play on the program, because Chris Schenkel was off this week, perhaps working on another sports assignment. And to see him get the opportunity to do work on a perfect 300 game, is simply a magical moment for me. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
1:56 looked like one of today's hits
"There's nothing left to say, let's just watch it." Great line.
I remember this game when I was a kid, my mom and I both watched.
This has got to be the greatest no-hook, slow-rolled 300 ever bowled. The ball didn't travel over two boards from delivery to pocket hit for most of his strikes.
I have started from Game #1 and wonder where they all are now!
Commentators:
Keith Jackson & Billy Welu.
I love that little ten pin tap that you see on JG's second frame.
Incredible
And the next year, Don Johnson nearly had a 300 game on T.V. too. But, Don left the dreaded 10 pin on his final ball. Cheated!
I saw that one!!!
A moment of silence for Robin Hood Lanes, Edmonds Washington. Those who know, know.
I know. My uncle worked their as a pinseter mechanic.
Wasn’t Guenther the owner of RH lanes and sold it to a developer?
@@lanceallington9175 He was. I still have never, will never spend a single penny in that Walgreens and Starbucks that now sit in its place. I know it isn’t their fault, they’re just corpos trying to corpo, but I live down the street and principle isn’t dead with me.
The game looked so easy back in the day when the ball only hooked a few boards!
Why would two people thumb this down? Their mouse must have slipped to the right as they were trying to thumb it up!
Spongebob narrator: “Two years later” (4 thumbs down)
Thumbs down are from the people who use the bumpers in the gutters.
Spoiler alert... There's a perfect game in this matchup. 🤫 I won't tell you who it was tho.
$10k in 1969 is like $83k in 2022
That ball had more rubber than a Jumbo box of condoms.
you have to get lucky before you get good - and john got both
After his first strike he probably thought anything was possible.
Rubber balls, wooden lanes, inconsistent oil patterns and less hook.
