Back in 1992,when I walked into Harold's Pool Parlor,there was a kid playing the local legend,Randy Tate,for big cash.This kid was with his Dad or Uncle,whatever,who was staking him.Kid kept getting frustrated and wanting to give up.He was unusually talented with a huge stroke! He just couldn't put it all together.His Dad/Uncle kept pulling him off to the side and getting in his face.Like pep talking him in a sort of controlling manner.Hard to explain,but there was something special about this kid,and this guy from wherever coming to play for cash against the best player at Harold's.Nobody had a clue who they were or where they were from.They just seemed like some poor hillbillies looking for action. I think they were just looking for a game really and found it there.
Well,to shorten things up,those memories are priceless because they were of a player that is very well known and feared today.I got to witness first hand,when "The Truth" was not known as "The Truth",but was just some humble kid with loads of talent.Larry Nevel was definitely to be one of the best that ever played the game!
