Lunch With Tommy and Stasia: TV's Golden Age of Candlepin Bowling
Tuesday, April 30, 7pm
|
|
Candlepin bowling, often the top-rated Boston sports show of the week, made names like Czernicki, Olszta, and Jutras quickly become as familiar as Bird, Yastrzemski and Orr.
Retired radio host Mike Morin's new book, Lunch with Tommy and Stasia: TV's Golden Age of Candlepin Bowling (Hobblebush Books, 2019), is the first behind-the-scenes look at what made these pop-up stars tick.
As a TV co-host of nearly 300 candlepin bowling episodes in Boston and New Hampshire, Morin got to know the players on a personal level.
They didn’t hold back as they shared their stories, many never heard before. The highs and lows are all laid out, accompanied by a photo gallery that will bring back memories of Saturday lunches with Tommy, Stasia, and hundreds of other candlepin bowling stars.
