Has anyone ever met anyone famous worth noting? Earlier today and yesterday, I met Efren "Bata" the Magician Reyes. He was playing in a local tournament I helped conduct at Hard Times in Bellflower. For those who don't know, Efren Reyes is arguably the most talented pool player in all of history. Everything from one-pocket to Nine-ball to 3-cushion, he earns the name "the Magician" for his uncanny ability to play in practically any medium. He's a real nice guy, he literally works magic on the tables, and he even signed my own personal Brunswick Blue-Dot cue-ball for me.
