I'm gonna say North Carolina, per capita. The Carolinas in general. Just an opinion to start some shi#. Lassiter, Earl, Little Tony, Sparky, and on and on. The normal guy can run out around here. Park, Lewis, Brady, man I can go on. Help me out guys.
 
I've got to agree with NC, and I really think I would even if I didn't live here :)
 
Mike Fuller, Mike Davis, Jeff Abernathy, B.J.Ussery, Michael Coltrain, Keith Crawford....=)

Thank you Kenny. But... if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, I am an APA 3. You have me confused.

Let's add Keith Bennett. How the Fu@# could I forget the Train?
 
Ok city produces alot of good players due to the fact that its in the center of the country and they get road players from both coasts rolling through. I would say Ohio is a big one as well as maybe Newyork and Texas. I believe that the carolinas do take first. Oh there's alot of players out of florida and georgia and tennessee as well. I do know to much about the north myself, Ive never traveled above north carolina, airports dont count.

Sam Monday is another good one and Keith bennet from carolinas.:wink:, just helping your case tigerseye and crawfish

I was wondering how you forgot the Michael "The Raleigh Flash" Coltrain..=)
You're a 3 now?? jeez you must be seeing them balls real good now...;)

I forgot about Pete Horne, he was pretty good in his day...
 
Man, tough to say. I would say New York, NY pumps em out from the 14.1 hayday to the modern day warriors. Michigan, Texas and California has produced its share as well.

Voodoo~~~lives in Florida, where they all come to visit and some never leave but no one is actually "FROM" Florida, LOL.
 
Hell, this thread and a case of beer, and you'll be arguing 5000 different opinions :p What time period? Is this an all time list? You get it...

I'll throw NJ in there: Allen Hopkins, Ray Martin, Steve Miz, Pete Margo, Jose Garcia, Jack Colavita, Sammy(Mr. Loree Jon) Jones, Danny Basavich, Al Lapena, Neptune Joe Frady...

I think Ive been to uaintgottachance North Carolina before. As soon as you enter city limits money just disappears out of your pockets.
 
NC wins this by a coochie hair, there are some spots where they do breed some great players but NC is just a playground.

Now I know that the NC guys are leaving Dave Carver off this list on purpose right? Afterall he's only beaten Archer even(lots of times), Hopkins in his prime, Grady while he was playing well, and just about every other world champion you can think of. Used to be a road partner with Earl Strickland. Umm yeah stone cold champion. Eventhough he has a drug problem these days he still gets out, plays that one hole too good(the whole state of NC might need a lil weight from him still), and has a stroke that's smoother than a baby's bottom.

Those are the proven guys...theres probably another 20 players who are just one ball away from breaking through, we'll call them the honorable mention list.
 
The hustlers are still asleep from big matches last night. When Ohio wakes up I'm sure they will make their case...Around 6 you will see Jersey and NY start to get in the mix. Funny thing is that everyone is right.
