It's not though Jay, me & Calvin were/are real good friends with Jimmy Sanders, he's from Shreveport, he always played lights out pool on the bar box with the light cue ball, I was at that tournament and it is definitely Jimmy, Jimmy didn't play many tournaments but he played in that one., and...

How did the tournament turn out? David Harcrow

Yes Vernon Elliott was another great!, just keep um coming! I'll add them to the list. David

I saw San Jose Dick give my brother Calvin a good whoppin on the 4 x 8 playing 9-ball back in 1973, then they played snooker and broke even, and Calvin had just beat the Canadian snooker champion the week before, so yes Dick played all games pretty well. David Harcrow

I like the " It's George" tip tapper, scuffer and tip shaper, maybe a little to heavy for a key chain, but it certainly is the best for all purposes. David Harcrow

Bar Table Hall of Fame Inductee's These are about all I can think of, maybe Jay Helfert can add some player's from the 70's off the west coast that he remembers, I know I didn't get them all. I certainly hope we can get a BTHF setup, all these players deserve some recognition for their play...

I've updated my unofficial list for the " Bar Table Hall of Fame" inductee's, you guy's keep coming up with those derserving players to add and we'll keep adding names!

All the players that have been mentioned in this thread deserve to be in the Bar Table Hall of Fame, the ones I have listed are just the ones I personally watched play, for there are many, many deserving of this honor. I hope that when they do have the BTHF that everyone of them are inducted at...

I really didn't know Wayne Collins, just saw him play a few times. but me , Calvin & Steve were great friends, we had roomed together over in Longview, Tx. for about six months onetime, actually I had been seeing ( Peggy ) off and on some before she and Steve fell in love, he took her away...

Well they got it wrong as Johnny winning the 87 Memorial, but he did win the 88 tournament I think, I do remember something about the crazy stakehorse running off with yours and Earl 's score,, man I sure do miss Earl Kellum!, I'll ask Calvin to give me some details about the stakehorse. David

Jam, that sure was a great photo, a few names are wrong though, like the guy standing besides Danny Cook on the top row is Floyd Trice from Little Rock, and the guy listed as Tommy Kennedy on the bottom row is Jimmy Sanders from Shreveport, all other names seem to be right. I remember that day...

Billy I know you have a great memory , but Country Calvin won the 1987 Steve Gumphry Memorial, double dipping Brian Atchley in the final, the tournament with the Photo of the players, as a matter of fact Calvin won the first two they had , with pretty much the same players in both of them...

I hope it gets set up, a "Bar Table Hall of Fame" would be a nice addition for the pool world. David Harcrow

Bar Table Hall of Fame CJ, I nominate you to take on the challenge of setting up a "Bar Table Hall of Fame" for all those deserving players from the 70's -90's to be recognized for their play, if you can get the ball rolling and think you can make it happen , please do so. I don't know all...

I agreed pt109, this thread is about those head & shoulders above other bar table players during the 70's - 90's that made a living playing pool, and deserve being recognized as such in a Bar Table Hall of Fame! David Harcrow

Thats right Fred, most all the poolrooms in the south at the time and even now consisted of all bar tables with maybe just one or two big tables, and most of the 9-Ball action during that time was in the south. David

Your right John, I forgot Paul Turner, he was a monster on the bar box, he told me once while at a tournament at the Rack in Memphis that he ran 26 racks of 9-Ball on the bar box gambling the night his mother died, he was in the middle of about a 10 rack run then practicing when he told me this...

Bar Table Hall Of Fame Off the top of my head these are the best bar table players I've ever seen play pool with my own "EYES" and many others that I didn't SEE play that maded a living at it from the 70's through the 90's. If you liked your money you certainly steered clear of any of...
