Wow. I didn't realize you used the same criteria for balls that are frozen, as opposed to balls that are just close together. This is interesting. How far apart can they be? And isn't 'showing character' subjective? But this is like Watergate except it's now "PublishingGate" . I think The Beard should post what numbers are still available so we can pick from the list before the riff raff over at AZShole Billiards snap them all up. We need to catch up to them. This is now a competition. All I want to know is the following. Is Artie Bodendorfer, Minnesota Fats, King The Wonder Dog, Mickey Carpinello, Don Watson, Searcy, Eddie Burton in the book?? The more of these people that are in the book, the more copies I will buy...
