Billy,
Harry Caray butchered about half of the players names that came out of his mouth. He ranks right up there with Butkus, Ditka, and Jordan as the most beloved sports personalities in Chicago (and beyond). Us pool fans hold you in the same regard Cubs fans do Harry. Well, you need to drink more, get some huge glasses, slur and mispronounce way more, but we still love ya the same.
As for Alex....if I could play like that guy I wouldn't care how my name was spoken, just spell it right on the check!!!
My friend Bobby played him at the Music City, and had nothing but good things to say about him and his game. So, I think he'll let ya slide this time, but do it again and you might have to play him!
