I was at USA Billiards in Laurel, MD this past weekend, and I had the pleasure of meeting and matching up with a one pocket legend from the Washington DC metro area and one of the best black one pocket players from the 60s and 70s, "Bus Driver" Ronnie. He's 68 years old, but his stroke his silky smooth and he still plays great.
His picture can be found under the "Hall of Fame" link on this website, under the link "Record Book". If you scroll down the page, in the left hand margin there is an image of a poster for the "1991 Legends of One Pocket - Philadelphia Style". His picture is in the upper right hand corner of the poster.
does anyone have any stories about him? He told me that he learned the game when he was a kid in the late 50s and early 60s from "Rags" Fitzpatrick. He mentioned Strawberry, Black Nate, and Beanie (along with himself) as being among the strongest one pocket players in the Baltimore-DC area (and the country) 25 - 30 years ago.
