One Pocket HOF
One Pocket HOF
I just checked the list of inductees in to the One Pocket HOF and I see some glaring omissions. How can Clem Metz not be included? He was only one of the greatest One Pocket players who ever lived. When I was a kid, all I heard was that Clem was the best. This was pre Ronnie and Bugs days.
Second, Fats should be in there too. There was never a more famous player than Minnesota Fats, even if we all know that wasn't his real name. Let's just say it was his stage name like every movie star from John Wayne to Steve McQueen. And Fats loved One Pocket and was an excellent player. If you put all the Hall of Famer's in a room with Fats, he would come out with the cash, EVERY TIME! That should count for something.
Allen Hopkins, Buddy, Jack Cooney and Ervolino come next IMO.
