As you know time moves on and the pundits proclaim
a changing of the guard.
We see it every day today when people say,"Efren was the best one pocket player in the world at one time,but now its Scott,or now its Alex or now
These stories have gone on for years , at first it was Ronnie Allen was the best one pocket player who ever lived.Great players like ed Kelley got a ball when playing Ronnie.
rumor was that Eddie Taylor couldn't beat Ronnie
Well our story begins sometime after Ronnie was no longer considered invincible
and at the time Allen Hopkins was considered the best one pock player alive,
Ronnie was speaking to Allen and brought this up,he says to Allen i hear that you are the best in the world now,Allen humbly agrees,so Ronnie ask him ."When did it happen"
"you becoming better than me",Allen shrugged and Ronnie offered to play a race to 4 for some greenbacks to make it official
Allen agreed and they started the race,4 games later the score was Ronnie 4 Allen 0,
game count,ball count was Ronnie 32 Allen minus 4 as I remember
Ronnie was a great,maybe the greatest,what I would give to see some of his old matches on video
I just got to thinking,who really wants to play Efren today,I feel like betting
on the old Magician one more time,don't you?
