You have been very generous in your support over the years, Dennis, and I thank you for that.

I'm not going to argue with professional arguers -- been there done that same old same old. If anyone wants to actually help make the next One Pocket HOF dinner happen, you all know you can find me.

Well I guess now we have heard from all three of the only three regular posters that I felt like I have had to eventually remove in order to maintain a degree of civility over there in over ten years lol. Of course, none of it was ever their fault :) As for the dinner, I welcome any and all...

So, I take it I can count on your support when the dinner returns. That's good to know. In the meantime, I think if you look at the list of inductees we have had over the years, you will see that we have the older generation of players well represented. In fact we have started moving into the...

Thank you -- it is a good group of people. It's amazing how the tenor of a forum can improve by removing only a couple of sh** stirrers.

I don't know what you are talking about. Nobody is screwing anybody. I get full cooperation from the Derby City Classic. The reason there is no HOF dinner these two years is simply the losses of Grady and Freddy and what it is going to take to overcome that. They were not just the faces of the...

There is not going to be one this coming DCC, but we are planning to bring it back January 2018, which will also be the 20th Derby City Classic. That gives us about 15 months to get it together. Thank you Angel for your enthusiasm. 1pocket is Steve Booth :D

I don't know if they would qualify as magazines, but there were two skinny publications... Accustats published a couple or so late 80's before they switched to videos Chalk Up! was another one from the 60's

Thank you for all the work you put in to compile and post this!!

Sure, but the incoming player has to match the pot every time to get there :D BTW I really like this idea, so thank you to the opening poster for coming up with it!!

I agree with you 100% Lou. I understand it was scheduled in CT so it could be piggybacked with the Straight Pool event, and that also explains why it was shorter than usual notice. I live only 3 hours from Pool Table Magic (host of both events), and know a good many of the One Pocket players...

There have been a lot of players over the years that appreciated it when the press made serious mistakes with their names, lol :D

Greg Sullivan -- Diamond -- Derby City Classic

Unfortunately JJ Jenkins died last year. He was a real pioneer of pool videography. As I understand it his son has the videos and they will be back...

Yes, I did compile the rules for One Pocket for OnePocket.org, but I did not do it just off the top of my own head -- I worked really hard to get input from every major One Pocket tournament director I could contact, and I referenced all the prior written One Pocket rules I could find (not many...

This is what you said. At least you gave Fats credit for eating and bullshitting lol. You should be smart enough to know that hustle and hustling also refer to an energetic go-getter -- something that any self employed person such as yourself would need to have a good bit of -- and it also...

Okay, maybe Fatty was not as smart as he could have been with regard to setting aside money for his later years. On the other hand I have a feeling he lived longer than he expected too, lol. Also, maybe you or Scott can name another player that died broke (there certainly have been many), yet...

Like you were there Scott, lol. Greenleaf died broke too -- he must have been a chump player too. What does dying broke have to do with it anyway?? No, I wasn't there either. However, players that I have talked to over the years who saw Fats play prior to the 60's universally gave him credit...

There is also an unwritten rule of pool gambling that says, When you have the best of a game, avoid arguing with your opponent because you risk losing your customer, when losing your customer would be more costly than losing your argument.
