UJ Puckett would be my first choice I think. Something about him holds a fascination and while we seem to be opposites in many ways we also had much in common in the way we plied our trade.
I would have liked to play Jimmy Moore just to watch a master's slip stroke.
I would think everyone would want to play Willie Mosconi. The problem being what Jay mentioned. Nobody more likely to make you just a spectator holding a cue stick!
One serious player in history I would have liked to play was Marie Antoinette, she of let them it cake fame! The lady was serious about her pool. She had a solid ivory cue. If she wasn't using it, it stayed in a locked cabinet, the key stayed on a ribbon around her neck. Apparently nobody else played with her cue! We generally consider the silver ginacue the most valuable in the world but I wonder if that ivory cue still exists. What would it be worth?
