What an awesome find! Back when averaging 201 on the tour actually meant something ........ When I first saw the teaser, I'm thinking to myself - how could none of those folks have any clue who she was ...... but I guess if you did not follow bowling at all at that time you might not.
I grew up in Toronto and we would see Beat the Champ weekly on Saturday afternoons in the early 70's on the Buffalo CBS station. Chuck Healey hosted it for many years and yes, Ida Simpson was the Vanna White of her day... 😊
I went to school with her and she wasn’t very nice to me. I don’t know why. She would tear up little pieces of paper and throw it over my head. So I decided to collect them and put it in a paper bag and waited till the end of the week. I threw all the paper back to her boy was she pissed off.
Not to be Captain Literal Man, but Larry Blyden was WRONG when Harry Morgan asked him if the object was one piece of equipment - he told him NO... Since when is a bowling ball more than ONE piece???
Jeff Webber - Well, even back then, players carried more than one ball. And the ball is not the only piece of equipment the player uses. Bowling shoes, bowling glove, and need I mention the pins, the lanes, the ball returns, pinsetters, Telescores, etc?
@@jeffthebracketman Well in every sport involving a ball, you only throw one ball. But you're throwing at 10 pins. A bowling ball is pretty meaningless without the pins.
@@Lewis9709 But the point is he was being asked about the equipment HE personally uses - A bowler doesn’t throw or touch the pins, only the bowling ball - The same way a baseball player only uses a bat - As a matter of fact, if a bowler was somehow fast enough to roll a bowling ball down the lane and then run down and touch the pins, the resulting pinfall would not count

I knew her to talk to way back when on Beat The Champ in Buffalo.
I believe the scorekeeper in the video is Ida Simpson of Buffalo, New York.
I knew Paula from Beat The Champ in Buffalo, New York back when she was a teenager. I also knew Tommy Baker from Beat The Champ in Buffalo.

She was bowling Mary Baker in that clip. Mary was also a left-hander. Would love to see the whole match
Women were so much hotter back then. No tattoos, piercings, or grotesque plastic surgery.
This appears to have been recorded off the screen of the Television
True. I don't have a good way to get a direct feed off the box into my computer.
Very Pretty Lady !!!!!!!
Is it just me or does Blyden look more like out of the 80s than the 70s?
@HelloooThere I agree, and that's a great observation, too!
She was tough in her heyday

Archery, javelin throwing, softball or horseback? And horseshoes?

But you only throw ONE ball at a time - just like a baseball pitcher throws one ball or a football player...
But to score in this game you need the ball to hit the pins and make them fall - the other piece of the equipment in bowling to score - the "pins"
