I like this one.

I knew George Middleditch from the Rack and later...always liked him.
He loved Jimmy Mataya....he’s gone now...but I would like Jimmy to make it to the HOF...
...that would suit George just fine.

dont know why they never put george in the louisville hall of fame for a lifetime of achievement ! he loved pool as much as anyone i ever met ! he was my brother ! loved to entertain the crowd with his trick shots !

Irrespective of whatever judgement we might impose on the man, given our limited knowledge of his life...

No millions, but you did help turn me into a real Floydster when I was a kid. ;)

Bought them in 88 or 89 off of ESPN.... COD.

I owe you some lobster and caviar. Take care Jim!

Danny Medina passed a couple or so years ago.
I watched him play just before he passed and he was sick with cancer and still played pretty darn good.
 
Jimmy, How's your game now? Just curious how a championship game holds up over the years.
 
I don't know whether Jimmy Mataya belongs in the Hall of Fame, but I seriously doubt that the 17 year old Jimmy Mataya was on the level of the 17 year old Fedor Gorst during that 2018 Derby City Bigfoot 10 Ball challenge.
