Vote for Sailor

Vote the way we do in Chicago. Early and often.

We have two Midwest locals nominated, which is pretty remarkable given the game's concentration on the East Coast.

Dallas West and Frank “Sailor” Stellman. Everyone knows about Dallas West and his smooth straight pool game.

Sailor is about 10 or more years older and learned from the same teacher, Joe Diehl of Rockford around the same time. Because of family commitments, he did not become the player he might have, but he has more than 1000 100 ball runs to his name and has taught many players the nuances of the game.

Here is a little more on Sailor for those of you who do not know him:
