Alley Chat Classics - WNDS Stars and Strikes - 2002 TOC - Tom Olzsta vs. Jeff Buggea

[@jeffreykinsella4416]

Me about 1 month ago: Why is youtube recommending candlepin bowling? Me today: Tom Olzsta is the greatest sportsman of all time.

[@gynandroidhead]

Same here. I've been watching these videos for about a week. Tom Olzsta must be the GOAT or pretty close.

[@gamblingdon100]

Ha ha, the same. I found candlepin a couple of weeks ago and I'm now watching every Tom Olzsta match.

[@johncassani6780]

@@gynandroidheadHe’s definitely the best of the televised era.

[@iSNARK]

Seeing Tom Olszta (my all time favorite candlepin bowler) on this show is like watching Channel 5 all over again! Enjoyed! BMP

[@bigbadbruins1]

My favorite also.I would love to know how much.money he won on wcvb tv

[@kenqiao3946]

First video I see an old Tom

[@burnlastsunday]

That wasn't entirely accurate about Olstza's triple to beat Craig Holbrook. He needed 25 pins I think not 29. Still incredible.

[@johncirillo9544]

Exactly. And Craig Holbrook reacted beautifully showing genuine joy for his friend’s terrific finish to their match. Both bowlers rolling a 400 series! Don Gillis was beside himself for weeks referencing that terrific match.

[@burnlastsunday]

@@johncirillo9544 Two of the best ever.

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

3:33 Jeff Buggea plays football??

[@burnlastsunday]

Wonder who that was on the mic for the grudge match.

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

Actually Tom's first appearance was during a televised mixed doubles tournament in 1985.

[@christopherrawlinson6540]

I caught that as well Jeff bugea

[@christopherrawlinson6540]

Sorry forgot to add another g to your last name

[@ericbromberg7239]

This is the first time I've seen Tommy on something other than channel 5, not counting his appearances on BSB on KZbin. I assumed after channel 5 went off the air, he was done

[@jonathanboudreau9626]

He had an appearance on Comcast too about a year after this show. I'm going to guess that was his last time on TV.

[@johncirillo9544]

@@jonathanboudreau9626 from August 2022 a charity match between two candlepin bowling legends, Tom Olszta and Peter Flynn. I’m 65 years old so that means Tommy is 65 and Peter is 66 in this video. Tommy, living in Florida, hadn’t touched a candlepin bowling ball in 18-years! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmKal2mlo6dlntE

[@blg020]

That was a 7 pin fill. At the end there.

This looks like 1982 not 2002.

[@bigbadbruins1]
