Right you are Russ. Efren has been married for years with children. Wimpy was a life long bachelor.

If you read the book Hustler Days by R.A. Dryer, there is much info on Lassiter that is great reading and weel researched.

Thanks for making me smile!

Looks like Wimpy had strong competition...

From the link (Interview w/Jaffar 'Patch Eye' Basheer):

1P: You mean Don Willis?
JB: Don Willis. He played 9-Ball better than Wimpy.

1P: Did you bump into Don Willis?
JB: Yes, I did. He beat me in Cleveland when I first met him. I think they sent for him because I was beating so many people there. How many pool players have been around the world that you can?t beat? For instance, Don Willis and Wimpy Lassiter both went to Honolulu to play a man that I used to play every Sunday because I couldn?t believe what he was doing. I was stationed in Honolulu at the time and I used to go there every Sunday and play that man, a Chinaman. And Don Willis and Wimpy went there and couldn?t beat him. That?s back in the 60?s.

Well it must be true - you read it on the Internet.

To paraphrase the character from TCOM 'Who the he!! are YOU?'.

Russ was right it seems.

Have you ever watched Ef play in person?
Did you ever see Luther play in person?

Did you see Reyes play, and loose, in a tournament
9 ball match twenty years ago - and explain to all his detractors
that tho he wiggled the cue on his warm up, there
was nothing unorthodox on the final stroke when he hit the cue ball?

Did George Rood, who had beat them both, ever tell you
Luther was a better player than Willis?
<George, not only played with one of my cues,>
< he paid me full price for it>

Care to guess who has?

Calm down bro...watch your words...like Terry said, this is a friendly forum...right

I've watched Efren play back in the early 90s at Brass Tap Billiards. That was the first time I've seen him play in person. I've also seen him play in the US open every yr when I lived in VA. So YES, I have seen him. Plenty of times.

I've never seen Luther play in person and couldn't because I wasn't old enough

You need to stop this..off the wall conversation and get back to the subject of this thread....you going to make Luther turn in his grave...
