Greg Stevens, John "DUKE" Dowel, "TALL JEFF" Sparks, Jim Rempe, Luther "WIMPY" Lassiter, Joey Spaith, Cole Dickson, Irving Crane, Jimmy Marino and others shouldn't they be in some kind of hall of fame?
I played all of them except Rempe and I wanted to test him!
Greg Stevens was arguably one of a few greats, devastating niner, solid one holer, great straight pool I assume, solid 3 cushion, solid snooker and I assume bumper pool, haha.
For Pete sake shouldn't Irving Crane be in somebody's HALL OF FAME.
Eddie Burton would get my vote for the hall, nasty at all games.
Houston's home grown "THE DUKE" Dowel, nasty at all games.
"TALL JEFF, top five niner back in the day, nasty at all games.
Cole Dickson, top ten niner back in the day, couldn't spell one pocket but who cares, nasty at everything else! Should be in someone's hall.
Maybe I missed him in the one pocket hall but Luther Wimpy Lassiter, come on, he is a no doubter in straight pool, nine ball and one pocket!
Joey Spaith, I don't get this, his brother is in the hall but he is not, watched him play in Johnston City, great all around player, better than his brother, I played him in the nine ball division twice, semi final and final. Very impressive!
Jimmy Marino, devastating niner back in the day, won the all around at Johnston City in 71, evidently he played all games well, any player that won the all around at Johnston City back in the day or Stardust tourney was no chump! They were marathon tournaments and nobody got lucky except me, LOL!
If some of these great players don't get in someone's hall, I would like to see some one do a short story about each one so they're never forgotten, like an HONORABLE MENTION SECTION.
It would be cool to have their picture posted on this site and when they played their best years and their strongest game if possible.
Some of these guys are running out of time, and will be forgotten! Don't let that happen. FIX IT!
Also their are more of them!
