I was fortunate enough to win four world titles but those difficult acchievements aren't recognized or listed by the BCA or any trade mags in their Almanac sections.
Jersey Red, Bugs, Ronnie Allen and I will probably never get inducted into the BCA HOF, yet they have guys with awfully questionable credentials in there. Maybe this terrific site will, if nothing else, educate pool lovers about some marvelous past champions.
I recently sent a proposal to the UPA, offering to consider sanctioning my future events. But I insisted that if I did, One Pocket, Bank Pool and Straight Pool had to receive the same rankings points as 9 Ball.They declined, which, really, I expected. But then I began to think about my proposal and my blood began to boil a bit. Are not One Pocket, Bank Pool and 14.1 championship pursuits, worthy of equal recognition?
I hope to change many things in the near future.I have fresh ideas and the will to make them work. I need to get by my Dec. tournaments and if everything goes as projected, you'll see huge change in pool, just from me. If my wife and I don't lose money in Dec. we plan for 05' :
One Pocket, 14.1, Bank Pool, Nine Ball, Grady's equal offense 10 Ball, some kind of big ring game, Poker, and these things on TV and an organization with: A A pension plan
B. Insurance benefits
C. A credit union
D. Our own HOF with no voting members being magazine editors
These are just a few of my ideas. Thanks in advance to Leonard Bludworth, Greg Sullivan,the Diamond table Co. and my friends in Foley,Al Richard and family.
