I the early 90s whenever Steve was in town he used to come and play in the weekly handicapped 9ball tournament at West End Billiards in Elizabeth N.J, this tournament was like no other,players who competed regularly there were Rodney Morris,Tony Robles,Alan Hopkins,Jack Colavita, Neptune Joe Frady,Jimmy Fusco, Mike Lebron, and many others,one time even the great Efrem Reyes who happened to be in the NY city area came to play, one week I had the misfortune of drawing Steve in the 1st round, being a handicapped tournament Steve had to give me the 5, anyway everything goes my way, got every roll and then some, and I beat Steve 5-0, Steve the gentleman he was even though it was the luck that got him beat and not the great shooting by me, says to me nice shooting Louie,I proceed to lose my next match and had to play Steve again on the left side, he won the toss and proceeded to break and run 5 racks and out.
