9-Ball - A classic if there ever was one. Way back in 1992 at the Bicycle Club Casino in Bell Gardens, California, CJ Wiley and “Captain Hook” Mike Sigel were battling it out in the Semi-Finals of BC Invitational. Sigel, 38, had already established himself as one of the greatest players of all time and in 1989 was inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame. Wiley made a name for himself hustling around the country and now was making a bigger name for himself on the pro circuit.
Bill Incardona and Buddy Hall shared their views.

So interesting at that time Parica has prominence in Billy's pov next to Mike. Almost like Efren hasn't crossed the horizon. But it won't be long before he does. Big time. Really interesting how Billy's commentary has been so consistently the same over the years. Buddy's too. Listening to them today vs back then, they sound the exact same. Voices don't age! This is great stuff!

@9Ballr 9 күн бұрын

Efren had already been competing in the U.S. for seven years by this time. Believe me, he was already near the top of everyone's list of great players, but he was not quite as successful in pro tournaments as guys like Sigel, Strickand, Varner, and Hall.

Fun to watch! This was after Mike had lost a step or just lost his love for the game.. Not sure? I've heard almost every top player of the time when asked who was their toughest opponent? Mike Sigel's was the answer... Including Efren Reyes who admitted that Sigel was the only guy he never once beat for money.

@user-oy1ho9vz3w 2 ай бұрын

Buddy said CJ was unhappy about the 2 ball shot, CJ was pissed about Sigel moving the 8 out of the corner pocket line incase he had to bank the the five back to him in corner. And sigel knew it was seen that's why he didn't bank the following 5 ball ! If he'd of banked the 5 it would of been undoubtedly done on purpose an he knew it.

Pat, when did Buddy start to slide? I saw him breeze through the U. S. Open in 1998, but after that I don't remember seeing that much of him. Was it health related issues or just a matter of advancing years, or a combination of the two? And when did he last seriously compete? I'd love to see more of his matches, as IMO in his prime he was the best nine ball player I've ever seen, bar none.
