That was at the Commodore Hotel in NYC! I've stayed at a Commodore Hotel, just off Times Square around 40th st or so.

Doesn't Murphy have a sweet stroke. Looks like he's playing a violin.

It was a 1/2 hour program.
Now playing is Fats vs. lassiter. Legendary stars of pocket billiards.

They mentioned at one point he used a slip stroke but the camera angle never let me see it well. I don’t see many people use that type of stroke any more.

You hear Fats talking. Hilarious
"been playing pool since 1800"

 

[christopheradam]

"Mosconi ran 526, I ran 527 banks"
"17 hours I didn't miss a bank, ask lassiter, he knows"

Oh man, Now classic bowling is on I want more black and white tv pool! More straight pool.

I caught the last rack of the Fats v. Lassiter match. It was in color - Allen Hopkins commentating.

Fats got whooped 4-0 I think.

I'm glad ESPN Classic lived up to its name and showed some truly classic footage. I love it. Nice job ESPNC. Hope they keep it up.
