I got back into shooting, after finding a nice used table. I started thinking back to around 1962, a neighbor took his son and I (about 15 years old) to see Willie play, in Ridegwood NJ.
Incredible pool player.
The story.
When Willie decided what ball to shoot, he had a person, who would announce the shot.
It got to a point, where the guy, would announce a shot, before Willie had decided. Like telling him, what shot to take.
Well Willie had to decide on a shot, and the announcer, announced a shot. Willie said in a voice, everyone could hear, the shot he is calling. It was a very hard shot. Of course, he made it!
As I get back into playing every day, I feel lucky I got to meet such a great player.
