The date was 1994, and Tom Olszta was working on 19 straight weeks of victories. The legendary Peter Flynn came in one day, and tried to stop Olszta, but it was not Flynn's day, as Olszta would go on to defeat him by a giant amount of pins. Here is part 1 of Tom Olszta vs. Peter Flynn. Enjoy :)
I like to concur with eci4r & josda1000 tha Channel 5 made a big mistake of cancelling Candlepins bowling that has been a poplar main stay with that station for 37 years which is in due thanks to ABC that purchased the station and all you get is infomoricials you see from morning till noon. I'm fro Toronto I never got to see that show till discovering it on Youtube which to me this was a very popular show in Boston.

Heard he had a heart attack a couple of years back -- how's he doing? (I bowl myself, and he's a name that everyone still knows)

Olszta fouled at 4:51. He's fouled a good number of times on these videos but they were never called. Did they not have foot foul lights?

I live in the Midwest, where I once was an avid league bowler -- have never gotten to try candlepin, but I'd really like to someday. I like the "old school" approach of Don Gillis' commentary. It's a shame he's no longer with us -- these are really neat to watch. Hopefully, he's having fun watching from up there.

actually i heard that it had to do with ABC not wanting to do "local" shows anymore, except for the news. though i never believed that crap... but i don't know. rumors are exactly what they are... rumors...
