Even if they were the most recognizable players in the world
I wouldn't have recognized any of them, due to my eyes being
affixiated on TheMadScientist's avatar....wow!

RIP Tommy Brown he is missed in Daytona!!!

Thanks for all the pictures

What a great thread.

The other half of the "Miami Vice" pro players. Tommy Brown @ the Sands Reno circa early 1990s. Many here would not know Tommy. He passed away 5 years ago in his late 40s from cancer. He had a glass eye for pretty much his entire adult life, from the same illness that eventually took his life. Would run a 100+ balls regularly in his visits to the Miami pool rooms in the 1980s and together with John Ditoro were the two top players in Miami for a long time. Tommy was a helluva player and was an incredible shotmaker. One of his pet shots was firing a ball into the side from a very shallow angle where the pocket size was barely the size of the ball. He was an exciting player to watch and the youth pool crowd in Miami were like his pool groupies. My girlfriend back then dumped me to date him. I still liked him regardless :thumbup:
