Danny, for a few years, could give anybody in pool a real run for their money. And most of the guys he ran into on the road were easy pickins' for him with his great talent and charisma. He became very proficient at working the hustle.
He and Bristol Bob, truly were the odd-couple of road warriors. Definite polar opposites. Made for some funny moments as well as some occasional serious strain.
I always thought it was terrific that they were able to have such a gifted writer, in L. Jon Wertheim, to do the Kid Delicious story. Too bad the movie was never done. I know I'm biased, but even still, I swear, this story on the silver screen could have been huge.
Below are a couple of shots from maybe three years ago when Danny and Bob were doing a piece for ESPN here in CT. Danny called me and in his inimitable raspy voice he said "Hey Brian, guess what, I'm going right by your house in a limo... ESPN sent a limo to New Jersey for me, me and Bristol Bob are gonna do something for them at a bar with a pool table there in Bristol. You wanna hit some balls after?"
Of course I did, so they swung by here. :thumbup:
Best,
Brian kc
