I think Tugwell said, "I do not wish to belong to any club, that would have me as a member"! (or something like that)
...And as unpleasant and misrable as he could be at times, nobody argued the point with him either!

I'd have to agree with Frost. He's like 40 now, isn't he? Seems like a no brainer.

Don't know much about Patch Eye other than he still played pretty sporty into his 70's and 80's.
Lou Figueroa
Bmore, I don't know enough about Geese. How would you rank his game in comparison to some of the better known players? Who'd he beat?
Lou Figueroa
Already in, though Freddy the Beard once said, "Buddy couldn't find his hole with an Indian guide."
Lou Figueroa
Yeah. Harold Worst was probably one of the greatest 1pocket players (and every other billiard game you'd care to name) of all times. It'd be tough to vote against Wimpy.
Lou Figueroa
I hear you, terry, but Fargo was not known for his 1pocket. Lot of guys ahead of him, IMO.
Lou Figueroa
Sure, rub it in Jam..Keith has it made!..Most of my former stakehorses are either on welfare, or in rehab!..Several others just gave up trying to recover, and committed suicide!..It ain't easy, being a pool player who never won! :sorry:
PS..Just curious, isn't that Keith on the left, in Terryhannas photo in post #27?..Thats pretty much how he looked, the last time I saw him..Its been a while!
SJD, in case you missed it, that's also Keith on the left in JAM's avatar.
Lou Figueroa
I see you edited your original post.
Yep, that Keith with Johnny's arm around him. And the guy at the other end, that's Jerry Bento. Keith speaks to him almost every day still. He lives in South Carolina with is two doggies.
Believe it or not, today, Keith's best game is one-hole, and if he were to engage in a game of stakes, one-pocket would be his choice because it incorporates many skills of pocket billiards, not just breaks and pocketing balls. It's more like chess.
Keith has been nominated to be in the Hall of Fame several times, but due to the fact that he was not able to attend the Derby City Classic, it was thought that it would be better to wait until he was able to attend the festivities. Though it was horrible what happened to you when you fell ill that year you were inducted, it is very nice that you were, indeed, inducted and did not have to be there in person.
Why was Keith unable to attend the DCC?
