Allan Jones of Chesterton, IN died July 31, 2019, at age 74. He was the 1992
BCA North American 8-ball champion (open division). Referred to as Michigan City Al
in the Buddy Hall book, Rags To Rifleman (page 68).

Al was considered the best player who held a full-time job (Bethlehem Steel). He played anyone, like Buddy Hall and Jeff Carter, just to name two. One year he entered the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship as a walk-on, and lost to Mizerak on the hill.

Also, he served his country in Vietnam.

Rest in peace, Al.

I liked Al, and no one had to win in Portage or anywhere up North.

But, to say best player to held a full time job is speculation.

I used to like it when Pete Fulton came down to play and Wally was always around.
