I think it's from 1999. We watched that last night. Unfortunately Gary would die the following year. He was only 46. I can tell an hilarious story of Gary and his dad. It resulted in Gary breaking a cue over Bill Stegalls head.I watched a 16 year old (not really) brumback play spaeth banks, last night.
Thanks, Accustats!
Yep and he looks so sophisticated with that gum.Is that Bert Kinister in the crowd?
Actually I knew it was typo but i did not care because i learned that word from 9 years old Aussie girl. She plays carom and other games in Shooter´s Pool. Btw i know she now played couple times real table too. She played carom online 2 years before hit shot on real table. She have high run of 7 on real table already lol...Poolmanis:
As a favor to me please, please do not under any circumstances change the title's typo-ed word "beaty" to the intended "beauty"!
You have accidentally created a marvelously colorful and exquisitely perfect coinage (for the subject) that would be the envy of any professional sports writer or commentator -- and could be applied to a skillful trouncing in boxing, tennis, soccer, billiards . . . even chess. Whatever. Leave it as it is and it will unquestionably be picked up and reappear ad infinitum elsewhere to the delight of sports fans everywhere, from now on.
Your new coinage is a rare thing of beauty to any writer's eye all by itself.

First time I saw Efren was in Reno in 86 or 87, I knew the first tim me I saw him-something special was going on.Thanks for sharing. I only started going to the Derby City Classic in 2009, so this match wasn't on my radar at all. Watching Efren playing pool in his prime is like watching Rembrandt paint. You may never see anything like it again, but you're glad you had a chance to check it out.
Was that Efren or Ceasar Morales at that time??First time I saw Efren was in Reno in 86 or 87, I knew the first tim me I saw him-something special was going on.
Efren found a sponsor in 1979 and made his first trip abroad to Japan, where he won $3,000 hustling and playing in tournaments. Six years later he made his first trip to America. Playing under the pseudonym "Cesar Morales" he played in, and won the 1985 Red 9-Ball Open in Houston, Texas, which netted him a few thousand dollars. Then over the next three weeks, and in five different states, playing big money against all comers, Efren won $81,000. But he never saw his promised 50% share. His financier stole the money.Was that Efren or Ceasar Morales at that time??

In 1986, he returned to America at the invitation of another financier, a Filipino from Chicago. This man also cheated Efren. In 1987, he had another financier, but they did not get along. In 1988, Efren was financed by an American named Archibald Mitchell. This time Efren finally made money. It was about this time that Efren teamed up with long-time friend -- and very capable interpreter -- Rolando Vicente, his manager of many years..

Sad side of the innocent, humble early years of geniuses (like Efren) in any endeavor throughout history.Showing the sad side of pool...
