2005 was a bad year for me.  I did okay in 03-04, but those teams were tremendous.  In my opinion, PJ was the best that year, but Valenta had the ooooh factor.  Everyone wanted to watch him.  Unfortunately I can't watch the video (work filter).

Yeah that announcer was freaking horrible.  I'll never forget Team Match Games that year.  It was the first time I saw BV throw it in person.  I was on the approach in the tenth frame with 280 if I punch out.  On my second step in my approach, about 6 or 7 pairs to the left of me I saw a black orb flying through the air about 6 feet off the ground and didn't land until about the 40 ft mark.  I balked and stood on the approach for about 5 seconds in pure awe at what I just saw.  Then I went 7-1 in the tenth.  SMH.

There was also a year or two where everywhere I went in the Midwest, people were confusing me for Andre Parker.  I've never met him personally, but people swore we looked alike and threw it almost the same.  I never saw the resemblance, but I guess there's a twin out there for everybody.

He took out the head pin and the rest comply.

Classic
