<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1104618, member: 24633&quot;]Walter Tevis wrote &quot;The Hustler&quot;, and he based it loosely on the life of his longtime friend &quot;Fast&quot; Eddie Parker. Eddie and I became friends when we met at a tournament on South Padre Island, TX in 1999. The following year at the same tournament, I had just gotten him to autograph two cue balls for my collection, I had to go play a tournament match and a half hour later, he was dead from a heart attack.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What year did you play Willie? I played him four exhibition straight pool matches in 1964 when I was 16. I played for 54 years, but I haven&#039;t played too much lately because I developed an intention tremor in my stroke hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
