Notice how his opponent immediately embraces him after the last ball, that's sportsmanship right there.
-
What I took away from this clip was his opponent was the first to bear hug him for his accomplishment. We need more of that today.

I have a hat signed by Jack Biondolillo. I met him at an event a couple years back. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.

I met Jack years ago, he was a bowling coach in his later years, i met him when i was 24. He worked in a pro shop and set up a ball for me. He gave me some tips that have always stuck with me. I took about a year of lessons with him and while he was never in touch with today's power game, he taught me how strong spare shooting and sticking to the fundamentals were. I just today realized that he passed. The world will miss you Jack.

I remember watching that live on a Saturday Afternoon on ABC in 1967. What a thrill that was. It was tough to throw a 300 game back then as those rubber balls didn't hook much. The Pros today roll 300's quite regular. I miss the Pro Tour on ABC Saturday afternoons. They were good times. Thanks for the upload:=)

Fantastic achievement, first televised 300 game. Right up there with first televised Snooker 147, first 9 dart finish, first televised baseball grand slam. All incredible sporting first’s

I've been bowling since I was 13 and I'm 55 now...I've never bowled a 300 game. I've had 9 in a row twice. Maybe someday. I also want a bear hug if I ever do lol!
-
I wanna see the very first telecast on PBA.
-
1st and still the most perfectly thrown on TV 300 in my eyes. To wire every single shot playing that straight is pretty amazing.
-
He got a 300 bowling completely straight :o amazing
-
The most important thing to be learned from this, is that the payout for a 300 game on tv hasn’t kept up with inflation.
-
Very fun to watch! Both of them releasing the ball while still sliding. You don't see that anymore.
-
That was really cool to watch the first ever televised 300 game. But what really impressed me was Les' sportsmanship during the game. At the point he realized he had no chance of winning, he finished his turns as quickly as possible as not to interrupt Jack's rhythem. And then, he ran out to meet Jack at the foul line for a congratulatory hug. That was two MEN at their best.
-
I came here looking for the first televised perfect bowling game. I found that, as well as the wonderful last name of the one who threw it!
-
Amazing game, none of the strikes were even close calls either, really good for the balls they used back then
-
Historical footage! THANKS!
-
This tournament took place in the early spring if 1967 when AFTRA, the union representing on-air talent on network TV went on strike. Hence, Chris Schenkel, who ordinarily would have been play-by-play commentator, wasn't there.
-
Man who ever owned a clothing store back then must have had hell keeping suits in stock man they wore a suit for everything
-
The 8th, 10th and 11th shot looked a little scary high going into the pocket, but otherwise a legendary and very consistent performance.
-
The only thing that would have made this better would have been him getting the last strike and shouting “Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are? I AM!” Admittedly, that makes everything better for me.
