"Pittsburg Mike aka Nutsy"

Mike and I hung around together for several months, he is a great guy and also had your back 24/7 ! One day I left him at the "Rack" in Detroit and Mike had about $40 in his pocket. I came back about 3 days later and he was still in action and ran that 40 into about 6 thousand ! When Mike was hittem good he could play, don't worry about it !

ferociously fearless. ive never seen somebody spear the ball as well as he does-100 mph for the cheese! we were going to play a ring game tonight but there were some no shows-i was watching those 88' akron open matches between keith, earl, and mike hynes earlier and i got to picking his mind a little about those guys. he has so many funny stories-maybe he should write a book......kinda sad to think that when all the players of his era are gone that a good many of those memories will die with them.
 
Mike Katsaros

Thanks everyone for Tom Karabotsos name, thats the guy I was thinking of.
It's all starting to unravel, lol

Is this the same Mike who hung out around Lake Charles, La for a while in the late 1990's? Did he ever tell you the story about when his wife sent him out to get a loaf of bread?

It was at Caesar's Palace that Mike won the Miller Lite Tournament. His
nickname out here was Nutsy. Don't be misled- he was as far from a nut
artist as one could be. He would play anybody that stepped up and he played fearlessly. He would shoot at a white flag and usually got out.
His style was fast and straight forward and exuded nothing but confidence.
The same night he won the tournament he went to the Serene Room
(A big action bar at the time) and matched up and over the next several
hours blew most of his tournament winnings. I was around him quite a bit
back then and I never saw him get out of line or tush hog anybody. He
was always a gentleman and I hope he is doing well. His name comes up
quite often when we're telling war stories

Knew a guy who fit this description to a tee. He played around Lake Charles, La. for a while in the late 1990's. World beater. The more money you bet the better he played. Did he ever tell you the story about when his wife sent him out to get a loaf of bread?

Awful news. Mike told me he once played Danny DiLeberto for 3 days straight and broke even. Must have been one hell of a sweat. They really don’t make em like Mike anymore.
