Dan, if you think Tony banks pretty good now...
I've known Tony for 50 yrs. (he's in his 70's now) and most people not from Chicago don't know how good he banked back in the day -
HE WAS A MONSTER...
Check out this pic and article re. a bank tournament held at Chris's Billiards about 25 years ago...some guys named Spaeth, Donny Anderson, Brumback, and more came up to tangle with the Chicago bankers...
well, Tough Tony crushed them all, including his buddy Bugs, and won the tournament..
..:heh

P.S. That's Bugs on the left, Tony on the right, and Chris Crisman (R.I.P.) the original owner of Chris's Billiards in the middle.
