Shoot, if SJD can start new threads about 1pocket, I say why not :)

So, who would you vote in? Yes, I know the next ceremony isn't scheduled (tentatively?) until 2018 but who would you say deserves to get in?

I have my own thoughts but would like to hear others.

2 overdue inductees come to my mind. Clem Metz and Johnny "Irish" Lineen.

I don't know much about Metz, though I've heard the name mentioned with some regard. But Johnny Irish is said to have been one of the most feared 1pocket players of his era. No one wanted a piece of him.

Pretty tough to nominate somebody when you don't have a list.
Rags?

The Current Hall of Fame List

Lou beat me to it. I know they like to nominate people that have been playing the game solidly for 20 years to be eligible. By 2018, I think Scott Frost would be eligible.

I don't know the game or follow it much, but I think Scott Frost would be high on the list.

The others that come to my mind are Frank "Da Barber" Almanza and John Henderson. Also Billy Incardone.

As far as the best one pocket I have seen played was between Dennis Orcullo and Alex Pagulayan at California Billiards a few months ago. I believe eventually these two will be in there as well.
