Can't ditch Captain Hook, he shoots lefty, and is a righty, like myself...In my youth I was lucky to have a lesson with Hal Mix and Nick Varner. Something a 14 year old won't forget, this was in New Mexico, and being able to chat it up with the Cowboy growing up puts him on the list as well. I guess this is more of a shout out to players that have actually influenced my game over the decades. That being said, it is a good list, and I am lucky to be influenced by such great players.
I am also a righty who shoots lefty. In fact, for the longest time I thought I was shooting right-handed, until a guy I was playing one day said to me, "So, you're a lefty." I said, "No, I'm right-handed," and he said, "Well, you're shooting left-handed."
Very cool to be able to hang around and talk to Jimmy Moore, and to get a lesson with Varner and Mix.

Willie Mosconi. Ralph Greenleaf. Irving Crane. Luther Lassiter. Willie Hoppe.
From a very young age I was always mesmerized by these early legends of the game.
I was able to meet Mosconi at an exhibition my dad took me to @1966 near Detroit. My uncle was a good player years before in straight pool and snooker and owned a small grocery store/pool hall in Detroit in the with his dad, my grandpa who was even a better player in the 30s through 50s and told stories of when he would spar with Greenleaf when he came in town for a match. I owned a larger pool room in metro Detroit with my family in the early 90s through 2007, Cornbread came in a few times and i also met many top players during a couple of our big 9ball tournaments.
