OnePocket.org is pleased to announce that the first ever One Pocket Hall of Fame banquet will take place at the Executive West Hotel -- during the Derby City Classic -- on the evening of Tuesday, January 18th, 2005. The Executive West is of course the host hotel for the DCC. This is a wonderful opportunity for fans of One Pocket to sit down for dinner in the company of some of the most distinguished One Pocket legends of our time and celebrate their induction into the One Pocket Hall of Fame.
A special thanks goes out to Greg Sullivan and Diamond Billiards for making it possible for this event to take place at the Derby City Classic.
Inaugural One Pocket HOF inductee Grady Mathews has generously offered to act as Master of Ceremonies, as legends Ronnie Allen, Danny Diliberto, Efren Reyes, Leonard ‘Bugs’ Rucker, Bill ‘Weenie Beenie’ Staton and Nick Varner are honored for their outstanding contributions to the legacy of the game of One Pocket. Knowledgeable fans recognize these individuals not only for their terrific playing talent, but also for the way these players have pushed the envelope of the game itself.
The complete first class of inductees into the One Pocket Hall of Fame is:
* Ronnie Allen 'Fast Eddie' *
* Jack Breit 'Jersey Red' *
* Billy Burge 'Cornbread Red' *
* Danny Diliberto *
* Larry Johnson 'Boston Shorty' *
* Grady Mathews 'Professor' *
* Efren Reyes 'Bata' *
* Leonard Rucker 'Bugs' *
* Bill Staton 'Weenie Beenie' *
* Eddie Taylor 'Knoxville Bear' *
* Nick Varner *
