I am so glad I can watch candlepin bowling on KZbin. I attend a lot of Dr's appointments and these make waiting bearable.

[@nealb8752]

Look at Tom’s foot, first box second string. 16:35. 9 pin drop, makes the spare but is CLEARLY over foul line and doesn’t get called.

[@markabraham2367]

Yeah you're right. I'm not sure the judge can see from his angle with the ball return in the way. I suppose its better to err on the side of not calling it.

[@danielsullivan5063]

Also at 23:04

If Tom Olszta did that in any Candlepin Bowling competition in Canada, he would have got the whistle from the Lob/Foul Line Judge for a foul. Olszta has committed many fouls and lobs during Bay State Bowling competitions in the past.

Hell of a 9 box at 40:48

[@pinballgarage7513]

what did Tom do with his massive trophy collection?

[@57Koba]

Does anybody have a tape of a show where Olszta lost? Probably rarer than a Faberge egg.

[@Cory_Springer]

I've only seen it once

[@johncirillo9544]

Tom and Toni-Marie Baldinelli lost a doubles match on the other Channel 5 program. It’s on KZbin somewhere.

[@bigbadbruins1]

How much cash did Tommy win in career ? 50 grand ?

[@johncirillo9544]

He earned over $30,000 the year he won 22 consecutive times. I think that was 1993. He won the $10,000 True Value Championship several times (perhaps 4 times), as well.

[@thomaswoodman5139]

is Tom still alive in 2021 and does he still bowl?

[@kevinwatson4541]

He and his wife now live in Florida

[@trivet1970]

yes and he does still bowl in team events some you can see on youtube.

[@bgagnon1123]

League average 136..... (!!!!!!!)

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

If you think 136 is nuts, remember that once upon a time a guy by the name of Jeff Atkins had a league average of 139 which I think is a world record

[@weldonmackenzie1963]

deline has a poor delivery

[@kylebertulli4435]

Oh, and you can do better? You come across as a total ignoramus with the comments you leave.

[@justinlapponese9678]

They dont call him Reggie "The Legend" Deline because his approach...the guy knocks down a shit ton of pins!

[@rangerodonnel9564]

Trust me Reggie could bowl with the best of them bowled many years with him at empire lanes in Hyde Park he was very good

[@HalifaxHercules]

Olzsta made a lot of careless mistakes as well, especially on the 10th frame 1st string when he got a 5. Then again, Tom Olzsta and Joe Ashline are notorious for rushing in their ball delivery, which increases a rate of unforced errors.
