He made the HOF in the “player category“ can you really say his accomplishments warrant HOF status?

charlie Williams Dennis hatch made the mosconi cup team, should they be in Too?
Respect of your peers and what the BCA thinks. Rodney has done a lot for pool over the decades. His induction speech was perhaps the best speech ever for our HOF. Watch that and it will make sense why he’s in and deserves it.
If he didn’t I’d say so. He paid his dues to get there

Hatch yes.
Charlie got in when he was a promoter and that was political imo. No he shouldn’t be
depends on what else that have on their resume and if there were Mosconi Cup MVP. But like others have said, there will be players in the HOF that are not Mosconi or Greenleaf. Just as their are players in the baseball hall of fame that are not Ruth or Mantle.
Yes

I do believe it is easier to get into the Hall of Fame if you are American but this is understandable with it being called the BCA (Billiards Congress of America) Hall of Fame, obviously.
I was there! I wish they would have pros at these events again it was a blast.

Besides the US-open win. It’s not that impressive. No world titles, no real major wins in other disciplines beside 9-ball.
It’s not just about titles. If that was the case-yes your right.

I’m not trying To be difficult, and it’s nothing against Rodney personally. I just think the standard should be higher that’s all.
I think the standard should not be political and more clearly defined as it is in the Poker HOF was at the Horseshoe in Vegas was for decades.
I agree the way it is now in pool the BCA has not done a great job. There have been mistakes.

Well one thing is clear. YOU got an axe to grind with Rodney Morris. Yet you say it's not personal, really? There are now 21 posts in this thread. Just under 50% are from you saying Rodney should not be in the hall of fame.. What a tool.......

listern dummy, it’s called having an opinion and having a conversation, if you’re too sensitive to be involved then stay out of it, and go get your cake out of the oven.
