Thx Bob....
Wow those were the days ! I still have my sweater from the 80s and I think it still smells like smoke ! Lol
.... I saw Danny in Springfield a few years ago , still playing good . Thanks for the pic sir ... See you in Vegas
That would be the largest calcutta ever.
I wouldnt be able to afford buying John Barton in that one lol.
Jason
Shannon, Ginky, Max, Tang and Danny Harriman.
April 1996 CJ's Dallas....Earl ran the 10 pack for a Mil against Nick Mannino.
Who I want to win.
1. "Busty" Has he ever won it? If not I hope he does this year, the clock is ticking.
2. Chang Jun Lin what a ball making machine.
3. SVB, I want him to get 6 U.S. Open wins. It will be awhile before any one beats a 6 win record.
All three of the above players are unique and a credit to the game. No hissy fits if they loose or don't like the way the balls roll or a rack or some one scratching an itch in the stands.
Who I don't want to win, any one that is from the other side of the Atlantic.

This is gonna be amazing. So tough to pick a winner, because the number of guys who can deny the top guys a spot even in the last sixteen is higher than ever before.
When the smoke clears, logic says we'll have guys like Chang, SVB, Filler, Orcullo, and some of the other super-elite fighting for the title, but my guess is that some of the great ones won't even reach the last sixteen.
In my recollection, this is the strongest field ever assembled on American soil.
