All time greats- who do you play?

[Nick8400]

If you could match up with a pool legend of the past for a long gambling session, who would it be?

I am thinking Ronnie Allen or Louie Roberts. It would be fun losing!

[Bob Jewett]

Walter Lindrum, considered by many to be the most dominant cue wielder who ever lived. After that, Francois Mingaud.

Fats... I would gladly pay for that entertainment.

Either Irving Crane or Luther Lassiter

Tough call for me. I did play some of these guys mentioned above, plus Mosconi and Fats in exhibitions. The problem with playing great players is that you rarely get to shoot. That's no fun. I think I'd really enjoy playing my old friend Jersey Red some One Pocket. He was so enjoyable to play for anyone who got on the table with him. Red had a comment for every shot, yours or his. Most of them pearls of wisdom delivered with humor. I did play him a 9-Ball match in Dayton. He told me the night before he may not show up since he was feeling ill. That would have been all right with me since it was a money match. He did show up though and that took all the wind out of my sails. He beat me 11-6. I realized later it was just a shark move by one of the best!

Yang Chin Sung. I used to wonder how he ever lost. Busty would be next.

Hmmm.. lots of great names already. I’ll add:

Gene Nagy

The table... Guy

I’d gladly donate to watch Mizerak rain 100s in 14.1 circa early to mid 70s.

He's only 44. Does he still play? Heard he took up pro fishing at some point. Helluva player. UD: three yrs ago:

 

[MajorMiscue]

Earl for the stories, instruction and to watch him spin the rock up close.

Fats. Zero question. Playing the man looks like more fun than hookers and blow.
