Earl
He is, actually. Voted in in 2006 shortly after this thread started in 2005. The vote must have worked
So now how about Jose?

That's Earl's way of a double steer. I think he feels that he deserves it and I couldn't think of a top pro who wouldn't want to be in the HOF.

well, at least someone knows what's going on. Dave, you are the king. Jose will probably be in there in the next few years.

Yuck, Yuck Yuck... Seriously. He can play, but at the same time he is probably the poorest example of sportsmanship in all of sports. Maybe U can come up with a "worst" loser??? I can't. Then U want to "enshrine" him in the Hall of fame? Earl Strickland is a perfect example of what the next generation should not emulate. It's comical. There are MANY better player's that are respectful...where to start?
Shoeless Joe Jackson "bought' his fate, so did Pete Rose. Excuses, excuses. yada, yada, yada.
He doesn't pass the smell test. He's right there with Jerry Sandusky.
I'm not sure about a "smell test," but something, or somebody, sure is stinking up AzBilliards Discussion Forum in recent times.

Hmmm....MANY better players?????
So how MANY have won MORE than 6 World titles and 5 US Opens?
2006 Inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame:
EARL STRICKLAND was a dominant player during the 1980s and 1990s, and continues to be so today. He currently holds over 100 tournament titles and has been named “Player of the Year” five times. He won the Akron Open nine times and the US Open 9-Ball Championship five times: 1984, 1987, 1993, 1997 and 2000. He has won the World 9-Ball Championship six times: 1984, ‘88, ‘90, ‘91, ‘94 and 2002. He most recently won the World Pool Masters Trick Shot Challenge in 2003. In addition to his individual championships, he has been a team member on nine winning U.S. Mosconi Cup teams, including 2005, and was captain in two of those years. He has conducted numerous exhibitions at trade shows, Air Force bases and at the Raoping Billiard School in China. Mr. Strickland maintains an active charity schedule, donating exhibition time for programs such as Pool Aid ’95, D.A.R.E., Paralyzed Veterans of America, Brenner Children’s Hospital, Billiard Education Foundation, Children’s Burn Center and others.

We have a winner. Why these old threads are being thrown back up is silly. Strickland in HOF for 5 years, but someone has to dig this one back up. Unemployment rate must still be high.
You're actually comparing Strickland to Sandusky?!! Really?!!
And by the way, Joe Jackson was acquitted in a court of law. There was almost no evidence that he took money to lose the world series. He batted something like .360 or .370 in the series with no errors.
Gets my vote
Earl Deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!..............On a side note, I met the "Pearl" for the first time about a week ago in Queens,NY, He couldn't have been any nicer. I'm a fan of his game, His personality is not for me to dissect.

What the ....... Strickland should be in the HOF.
I guess some AZ'ers can't read the small print, so Earl has been in the HOF since 2006!
You have to admit...if anyony is good enough at the game to get voted in twice it is Earl. Earl you have my vote
AGAIN!
