Once they finished up, he went over to Big Bertha and kept playing and playing and playing with other folks.
An interesting story, Keith McCready hung out a lot at Rack's in Lee's Summit in the early to mid 2000s. That dude was a trip. He played Grady in The Color of Money, for the people that don't know. He had juuuuuuuust a little bit of a drug problem. He could still play but, man, was he completely whacked out.

I got you. I have a hard time remembering stuff from way back when too. I can't even remember the name of the guy he played for that $50,000 but I knew his name back then. Can't remember the name of the off-strip joint we were in either. It's on the tip of my tongue, but . . . He was a kind of famous pool player back then. Not top 10 elite, but if you read about pool back then you'd seen his name and picture every once in a while.
