The championship shows of 1993 and 1994 are total carbon copies of each other and played out exactly identically. Here’s how: (warning: spoilers ahead) 1993: #5 seed Al Johnson barely squeaked by #4 seed Craig Holbrook 1994: #5 seed Bruno DeFeo barely squeaked by #4 seed Janet Poch 1993: #3 seed Brian McKinley DRAMATICALLY forced overtime in the last box and won it over #5 seed Al Johnson 1994: #3 seed Tom Olszta DRAMATICALLY forced overtime in the last box and won it over #5 seed Bruno DeFeo 1993: #3 seed Brian McKinley easily defeated #2 seed Jeff Atkins by 35 pins (139-104) 1994: #3 seed Tom Olszta easily defeated #2 seed Tom Morgan by 35 pins (130-95) 1993: #1 seed Tom Olszta started out neck and neck with #3 seed Brian McKinley, but ran away in the second string to easily win the championship. 1994: #1 seed Dick O’Connell started out neck and neck with #3 seed Tom Olszta, but ran away in the second string to easily win the championship. I mean WHAT are the odds of that?
Forgot her name but the only female competitor must have been kicking herself. She failed a relatively easy spare that only required being careful and that spare attempt was almost at the end of the game AND she only lost by 3. Getting that spare would have been worth more than 3 I think. Such a sad waste of an opportunity.
i'm sure i saw this live back then but i remember nothing about it. i'm getting old.
All classic bowlers!! Thanks for the ride!!
Not everyday Tom Olszta loses in the final. But Dick O’Connell is an all time great as well. Shame he’s no longer with us. A true class act.
Bruno was shaking!!!!! Wow what a great first string. Go Janet!
Janet is just as tough as all those guys. It would be an honor to bowl against her.
I’m surprised stacia zernacki (sp) never made this tourney to this point
6:08 grandma's teeth. A cruel game, candlepin is.
Such a nostalgic blast from the past.
Love the picked fence rather than GranMa's teeth..lol
RIP Dick O’Connell.

Uncle Janet gave an impressive run.

The announcers: oh my God! A woman! Can you say woman on TV? Woman woman woman. God, I can’t help myself.
@@SimuLord you’re not helping their case
Ed Harding was an absolute joke of an announcer, and Don Gillis, though a true pro, was long retired from being the dean of Boston’s sportscasters.
@@johncassani6780 Ed Harding killed the doubles show, I don't know why they got rid of Brian Leary.
