Lorre Jon and Robin were on his ill fated talk show several years ago. Not only couldn't he make a ball, he was a jerk to them.

Evidently, Tony Stewart is also a good player. Makes sense...good hand/eye skills needed in NASCAR...
 
Not giving it much thought, but I've seen all of the following celebrities shooting pool at the Amsterdam Billiard Club:

Jerry Seinfeld
Paul Sorvino
John Lovitz
John Ratzenberger
Macauley Culkin
Mats Wilander
Teemu Selanne
Gary Shandling
Harry Carson

I played a little pool with Cliff Claven when I was house proing at Jillian's. :p Seems like all the rap stars have pool tables in their 'cribs' and I played pool with several of the Sonics. When they bent over the tables, you could see a huge triangle of air between their legs. I could have walked through their legs without bending over, lol.
 
I saw Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens and Jorge Posada all playing pool one night. Ironically, Andy is a lefty pitcher yet shoots righty. Roger is a righty pitcher yet shoots lefty.

I read somewhere that the late Jerry Orbach actually ran in the 60s and 70s in straight pool. I also remember Ricky Schroeder was in that movie Poolhall Junkies, not sure if he could really shoot or not.

I know everybody is going to say a lot about them for years and years but to me and a bunch of us at Amsterdam's old Eastside location where I used to work, they were alright. Clemens had a thing about playing pool right before he pitched. He'd be there in the morning of a night game or the night before a day game. If he came in at night, it was a sure thing Andy and possibly Jorge would join him. They were always nice. They always tipped well. They'd sign autographs when asked.

Once, I was sitting in a restaurant near the club and Clemens came in with a few friends, saw me and said hello like any other regular would do if they saw me having dinner. Like I said, say what you will but he's alright in my book. I hope he gets past all this crap.

I have been a huge Roger Clemens fan ever since I was a kid. I got his autograph in a Whataburger when I was about 7 or 8 in Austin, Texas. I don't care what anybody says about him. I will always be a fan. I was just making a joke. He will be fine I am sure. Besides I don't think that he needs much external validation for all of his accomplishments in baseball and life.
