[@dariustavallai1964]

Alley chat, I love it how you are putting the channel 5 candlepin shows on KZbin in chronological order, you are doing a terrific job!

Thanks to Tank and AC!

Blast from the past. I remember John Kibbey from when I was a little hellion at King's Lynn Lanes on Washington St in Lynn. I still remember me and my friends giving Russ French a hard time when he worked there.

This show was full of pretty spares. A pinning clinic by one of the bowlers in the third string, too.

Hi, just out of curiosity, who is the contributor tank?

[@surfinbird208]

I guess it’s just tank

Has the bowler of the lowest single string (77) ever been identified? I know Don never ID'ed them. Also anyone know what the lowest triple was? Thx again for these classics.

[@Ebinsugewa]

Jim Sylvester of East Boston, 5/30/64 against Ray Casey. His first string. He was apparently called for nine!!! lobs, and one foul across the three strings. He marked in the last box of the third string and lobbed for a 0 fill. Wild.

[@Ebinsugewa]

His 264 triple is almost certainly the lowest, although I haven't checked every single score across the seasons

[@timross6990]

@@Ebinsugewa Amazing! Thx for the history.

[@tirmyta]

Don Gillis would sometimes mention information such as when a certain bowler first appeared on the show, and how many times he won. Was there a complete record of every game since the first show? If so, does that still exist?
