Am I crazy thinking that Greg Stevens deserves at least honorable mention, especially in rotation games and snooker?
As I heard it -- think it was 1971 -- he robbed everyone at a big tournament in Houston, playing 72 hours straight, only to go broke after his mixture finally failed him the 4th day.
And I saw him do unbelievable stuff on a 9-ft snooker table. He'd make prop bets re beak, ball-in-hand, and running out using pool balls on that medium-tight table... and that was past his prime.
Chemical warfare, there were many greats, especially when the pockets were larger. The equipment of today, I much rather have Wimpy play sixteen hours, then get 8 hours of sleep and do it again over a period of 5 days.
