This podcast series is going to be epic. Billy Incardona knows exactly how to keep an audience engaged with his wisdom, quick wit, and unmistakable charm. I absolutely adore him.
One of my fondest Billy memories goes back to the 2003 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship at the Chesapeake Conference Center. The place was packed that weekend, and I managed to snag two end seats in the bleachers, right in front of the live-stream table. A few moments later, along comes Billy Incardona, who sat down right next to me. As the match progressed, Billy began giving me a play-by-play. I hung on every word. It was like having my own personal pool commentator sitting beside me, a one-of-a-kind experience for a lifelong railbird like me.
As the years went by, Billy and I forged a friendship both on and off the tournament trail. To me, he’s the most interesting man in the pool world. If you ever have the good fortune to chat with Billy, you’ll instantly become a fan of his deep pool knowledge and a genuine admirer of his kind, down-to-earth nature. He’s also a smile magnet. You can’t help but smile back when Billy greets you with that twinkle in his eyes.
I created a Wiki page about Billy many moons ago, but it deserves more color, and Billy certainly has plenty of that. One day soon, I’ll carve out the time to track down the references and stories that do him justice.
Billy Incardona isn’t just a commentator or a player. He’s a living, breathing part of pool’s heartbeat , and for those of us lucky enough to know him, that’s something we’ll treasure forever.
