Pool Suckers Hall of Fame

I don't know his name, but the biggest sucker I know of is actually a sucker for winning a one dollar bet that he would not drink a full mouth full out of the brass spittoon at a local tavern. He was very proud to have been the only one brave enough to take the bet and win it.

this is easy,the biggest sucker has got to be Keith McCready.If you matched up with him and if he was beating you,he would keep giving you a bigger spot until he couldn't win.

I'm sorry but I'm 99.9% sure Mike Carrella never played Rosie. I can find out for sure but I'm almost positive that Mike was already dead when Rosie started playing around here.


I know James 'The Sniper' Christopher beat Bill out of over a million one night. For some reason they didn't/couldn't play at 'The Rack' so they convinced Bill Patee to let them play all night at Cushion N Cue in Livonia, MI across from DRC (Detroit Race Course). He got in alot of trouble...alot...for letting them play after hours.

I can't think of any champions Rosie knew of and played besides Cornbread. He wasn't looking to play champions and the ones he did, he didn't know they were...like James. :eek:


What happened with Rosie was a fluke...I guess there was a big snowstorm so there wasn't too many people at the track (Northville Raceway) and somehow 'Superfly' got to talking to him and got him to go to Cue Corner in Romulus and beat him for over 100,000 on his own and the rest is as they say...history.

Fly then introduced Rosie around and after awhile he got to trust Freddie Salem and if you played Rosie the money was cut up more ways than you can imagine plus 'street tax'.

They tried the 'shakedown' on somebody you and Keith know very well.


Anyway, I'll see about some other stories but truthfully he either had no chance playing or they had the scissors on him.



Plus I don't want to give out too much info.......it'll be in the book.

You're right about Rosey, though. He's legendary. I can't wait for the book! That's a movie-maker if there ever was one! :cool:

What about Jew Paul, before he wised up? He used to give out tremendous spots, but then he wised up and started matching up much better! :wink:

That reminds me of the time we had a Polish sausage contest at our bar, who could eat the most in 60 seconds. Oh, man, I almost threw up, but I won. The secret is to not chew too much and swallow them whole. :wink:
