Danny Green...

Nevermind, he's fine

I've been hearing conflicting reports on if Danny Green passed away. Anybody out there know? He's a well known player in the DC/MD area. One of the best players I've ever seen play live.

This is the Danny Green I'm referring to

Some guy going by that name definitely made his way to SC one time. I thought it was a pseudonym and he was real real good. I had to cut him loose quickly. Shot with what I called a sneaky pete and talked a lot during play..

That's Danny. A 30-year long friendship.

Didn't know him but sorry for your loss Peter and to his other friends and family...

Yes. Danny was respected, liked, and feared in my neck of the woods. Depending on the room and game, the three names you would hear most often over the years were Danny Green, Pookie, and our own Tom-Tom (that's what they call Tom Wirth in these parts).

I played Danny a few times over the years and always enjoyed it. Needed a lot of weight, though!

Danny and I played some 1P 25-30 years ago in DC when I played it like nine ball. I didn’t know who he was till we finished playing. We were both using jump sticks and shooting wild shots. Most fun I ever had. Danny was great, I loved that guy. I kept in touch with him for a bit but didn’t have a trip back there for a long time and lost touch with him.
