next month the old campaigner is coming to the usa one more time

Is there anything being done to honor him for his lifetime
of achievement

think of all he has meant to the game,not just to his own
downtrodden country where practically every little boy knows of him,
but to all of us

what would pool be like in america if there had not been Efren Reyes

As I see it there has never been anything like it
maybe Greenleaf,Hoppe or Mosconi

Has anyone planned anything to honor hi,.

If his life story were to be made known to the main stream,perhaps
this crazy game of ours might intrigue the public once again

Didn't he do the same thing last summer? Financially it must of went well. Why wouldn't one do it again?

i would gladly host a party for efren,but there is nothing in dallas to attract him

i am seriously thinking of going to see him play in june

if someone could arrange a ceremony to honor him,i would gladly participate
if only financially

there are others like bustamonte,purika, now alex who are similar
but not quite what efren meant to the game

Oddly enough, Bustie and Alex are also doing a "tour" vising places in the northeast like NY, NJ, New England.

I personally would love to see ESPN do a 30 for 30
show for Efren. He has such a good story.
Came from the absolute bottom. He is without
a doubt the greatest living player, probably the best
to ever do it. So humble, so talented.

The man should have a statue in his honor.

Efren will be playing at Buffalo's big Pro One Pocket event in a couple of weeks.

Be great to see him snap that off :)

Stop thinking about it, and book your rooms. Take your buddy Mr. Potter, and the wifes, and go enjoy a long weekend.

Just look at it this way: How many more times will you have an opportunity to see the Greatest of All Time...?

Sorry for the question we have been super busy moving, when is the tournament down in L.A. I hope it is not around the 6th our son graduates from the Sheriffs academy on the 6th and as much as I would like to see Efren play well what can I say.

I asked Tommy Rey if he wanted to go ,he sounded up for it until I mentioned "Stake horse"

if Tommy Rey and I get to the match,please introduce yourself and don't be shy about matching up

We will not be offended

I had a wild thought since hes gonna be at bogies and all

I asked if theyd allow me a balkline match with him since they have a carom table and it happens to be his favorite game and all that noise

Hope they let it happen
Doubt hed have a reason to refuse it!
