I have a friend, an accomplished player, who has played quite a few players over the years and many of them black. He only knows them by their "playing" names and he is looking for some help with identifying them with their real names. If anyone could help with some names it would be greatly appreciated!
"Shorty" from Richmond, VA - played good straight pool and one pocket
"Patch Eye" or "The Lieutenant"
"Monster John" from Florida - played good one pocket
"Shane" from Detroit? - played one pocket and banks
Also, add to the above a player named "Punky", a white player, from the Hagerstown area of Maryland.
Also, a slightly built black player from, I think, the Pittsburgh area. I think his name was Sy Brown.
Thanks for any help!
