Keith McCready Alive and Kickin'

Hell of a long, but good, read....well written. The paragraph that hit me most:

"Jennie points to a match between Keith and the late George “Ginky” SanSouci on the front table at Hard Times in Bellflower, California, many years ago. The bet was eight-ahead for $8000 playing 9-ball. Keith was in dead stroke and ahead five games, when suddenly Ginky got a phone call and instantly broke down in tears; his mom had died. Keith, playing with his own money, let Ginky out of the bet and told him to go home and take care of his family. “I didn't want him to play under those circumstances,” he says. “I mean, money is important. Don't get me wrong. But it's not that important.” Ginky never forgot Keith's kindness that day and the two remained good friends until Ginky died in 2011. “That's who Keith is,” Jennie says."
Definitely not the first time that tale has been told here and it has lost none of its beauty.
