Who would fall into that group? Obviously Parica is number one, and Efren shortly afterwards. Who would you put into a list of maybe the original 5 or maybe 10? I'm creating some artwork that commemorates their trek to the United States, and I know my choices would be different than those who are more familiar with the scene when it broke.

Reyes,luat, bustamante, andam,kiamko
To. manallo , pagulayen, and so forth to orcullo ,alcono...ect
I think a timeline collage would be cool with all the pinoy players, starting with parica ofcourse and ending with Biado or newer.

You might add this player, Santos Sambajon a fine player in his own right and Efren Reyes corner man in the 2006 IPT World
Eight ball Championship where Efren won 1st prize of $500,000 thousand the biggest prize ever in a Pool tournament.
Santos beat Kid Delicious (in sudden death) for one of his titles in the ESPN Skins Billiards Championship for the
1st prize of $73,500.

The World 9-Ball Championship just payed $30,000 for first, what happened ??? :(
That's another thread though.

Of course you know that huge prize was an anomaly coming from the deranged brain of a convicted felon scam artist, who is now convicted of another felony.
For pool to even have been involved with that nutcase doesn't say much for pool. Only a lunatic would have made the promises he did, and pool bought into it just as buyers of his books did. Reminds of the movie "The Music Man".
Anyway as you said that's for another thread; I just couldn't help myself :wink:

I noticed you couldn't help yourself, unfortunately everyone already knows what you
couldn't wait to tell us. How quick can you say old news, thanks well done. :wink:

Nice signature, JohnPT. Former Marine?
Take one to know one I suppose. Semper Fi!

No I am not a Marine. I just like the Rifleman's Creed. But, I would like to thank you for your service and wish you and all other vets a Happy Independence Day.

The original? Jose.

And then he led Efren and then Franciso.

Luat and Andam came next.

Boyet "Crown" Del Rosario should be there on that short list, he came in at the same time as "Boy Samson" Luat and "Dodong Dadiangas" Andam...
