One Pocket HOF ...Baltimore Buddy??
- Thread starter bulletjr
- Start date
are the pickins getting thin already?
there should be a form all the old school guys can fill out to inform us younguns on who should really be in the hall.
Seems like the first few years of inducties were spot on, but I have nevr heard of "Baltimore Buddy"? I would induct Keith McCready if I had a vote...

Buddy Dennis, the Baltimore Bullet. I never saw his one-pocket game... just 9 ball.
One Pocket HOF
Buddy played well but heres a list of people off the top of my head who get there first, Buddy Hall, Cliff Joyner, Scott Frost Alex Pagulayan Shannon Daulton, John Schmidt, Jeremy Jones, Gabe Owen.

Buddy is still alive & playing...he now lives in Columbia SC.
I've known Buddy for nearly 40 years. A good player and a better hustler. I'm not sure he's a candidate for the One Pocket HOF though.
I agree. Joey Spaeth is long overdue. He should be the next inductee!
all the best to buddy dennis. i allways thought buddy best game was 9 ball heres an idea since buddy and tom vanover are arguebuly the best two players to come out of baltimore they should play a match who ever wins gets in
jay who played better 9 ball buddy dennis or cigar tom vanover i respect your opinion
Is that the right Vanover for the HOF though?
Pretty close call in their prime. I might take Cigar Tom if they play in Baltimore and Buddy anywhere else. I definitely like Buddy's One Pocket game though. Buddy was a lifetime road man and that counts for something in my book. He found a way to make a living playing pool his entire life (plus have a family) and that ain't easy.
Here is the URL for the 1P and Banks HOF. There is a listing of all the inductees. Each Fall a candidates list is compiled by vote. Then the final inductees are selected by another vote. The criteria are explained on the site. ~Doc

Guys, Jay is right on when he says a better hustler and his life devoted to pool and the games puts him in. I know you guys haven't seen him play in a while, but I will guarantee that he can play right now at 66 yrs old with all the guys mentioned for one pocket. He don't show his speed because that's how he makes a living, but when it comes to Baltimore Buddy, he is 100% a top nominee. My words mean nothing, but I ask anyone to come to columbia, sc and watch him play one pocket. Ask Grady who has the upper hand? We see it all the time and he is and will be a legend for the game of Pool. I think Keith will vouch for Buddy on this as well...
Thanks
Thanks
I played Buddy at Tucker's Billiard Academy in North Charleston, SC ~37 years ago. See if he has any recollection of a crazy sailor named Rich from those days. 
He must have liked that part of the country.

all due respect never heard him mentioned in all the "stories" ive read in the books and at 1p.org

Some of the guys mentioned in this thread are to young for the HOF IMO.Afterall when making a game the HOF is worth what 1.5 balls a game?On the other hand some guys will try to use age to negotiate so it may even out.
