She wasn't really known for her sensitivity or kindness as I recall. (born Feb. 20, 1954)

Yep, I'll agree that Francisco is pretty classy and has a pretty classy stroke!trueblu8 said:Well I just gotta get my guy Bustamante in there. I can't believe nobody has mentioned him. He is really stylish, and classy. One of my all-time favorite players to watch. And he is humble, just like Efren and most of the other filipinos. And while I'm sure Efren is a really good guy, the filipinos tell me that he doesn't bathe for days during a tournament
Alive: Francisco "Django" Bustamante
Deceased: Irving "The Deacon" Crane

I own about 3 Accu-Stats videos with Jose Parica. And I have to say that I was surprised at his demeanor at the table. He seems to pout every time he misses a shot. And if he gets a bad roll... forget about it, he practically cries. Also, he will stand there for about 30 seconds after a miss just staring and shaking his head, all the while his opponent will basically already have addressed the ball and be ready to shoot when he finally strolls away like child who just got scolded. All this from a man who is in his 50's.
When I think of someone of that age, I usually think of someone like my dad. And I have a hard time imagining my dad acting like Parica. Maybe it's the game itself, but Parica has a temper and attitude like that of some kid in their teens.
No offense meant by this post and if you had a good experience with Jose Parica, well then I am glad. I'm just stating an observation based off what I've seen in my videos. And I do not think he would qualify as the classiest living player. Just my opinion.
parica...
Now that you mention it, I have noticed this as well. It was during the '05 US Open final match vs. Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan. Parica was still at the table mourning his miss on the nine, and Alex just practically jumped in there while Parica was still at the table and made the nine. At first I thought to myself, can he do that, what a rude ass little kid! But now after reading your post, I am wondering if maybe this is a bad habit of his, lol.

Certainly Tony Robles and Allison Fisher have my vote,alot of the foreign players from Europe and the Phillippines seem to carry themselves well especially Reyes and Souqet.
As for guys who are deceased certainly the Deacon is tops,i mean he finished the bridesmaid to Mosconi so often and still kept composure.
So after all this we should have a poll and crown the classiest player,i think Robles will win.
