Danny with fellow One Pocket HOF’er Grady Mathews
Danny is originally from Buffalo, NY, where he honed his skills playing mostly Straight Pool and 9-Ball. He didn’t really become acquainted with One Pocket until his arrival at Johnston City in 1964. However, he showed a quick understanding of the game, and soon found it very well-suited to his strong all-around skills and intelligent style of play.
* As a tournament player, Danny came out on top in two major One Pocket events:
- 1983 Tampa FL All-Around One Pocket Division
- 1985 Sid Mann’s Austin World One Pocket
* As an After Hours Player, Danny has matched up with players all over the country; at one time or another having been on the road with most of the top road players of his era.
In 1988 Danny was featured in a $20,000 One Pocket challenge match with Ronnie Allen promoted by Jay Helfert that is still available on video tape.
* Through his frequent commentary work, Danny has brought his very entertaining and informative style to many viewers, educating the many One Pocket players that watch and study intently.
