Keith McCready v. Earl Strickland 1988 Brunswick World Open
Semi-Finals at 1988 PBA Brunswick World Open at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Keith McCready v. Earl Strickland. Earl talks to himself; Keith talks to the crowd. Great vintage video of a formal pool tournaments from this era. Earl at this time was heralded as the 4-time Akron Open champion and two-time U.S. Open 9-Ball Champion, though he later went on to win five U.S. Opens. Earl is in the prime of his caeer here at a young 26, and Keith was a mere 30. Steve Mizerak and Barry Tompkins commentating.

Comes down to the double hill, race to 9, at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas at the 1988 Brunswick World Open 9-Ball Championship. Both players dressed up in tuxedos and played hard. Lots of famous pool players in the audience. Video quality is not the best, but it gives a glimpse of what pool was like in the '80s, considered by most as pool's golden years.

First annual Magnolia Classic at Lakeside Complex in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, which was a bar table pool tournament. Match between David Matlock and Keith McCready. Not sure of the year this took place, but I think it's in the '90s.

    Great post. Any old video of Kieth is greatly appreciated. People really have no clue just how good he really was (IS!!) This vid shows how he played in many tournies back at that time. He made is money AFTER hours, when the big bucks where bet.

    Only Efren could make a tux and bowtie look like he's wearing a $2.99 boy's size 20 shirt from Woolworth's Bargain Basement. But what a true champion, making the most of his talent, unlike some pool might-have-beens.

    Efren Reyes swore at 21:00 LOL.. He said "Gago talagang putang ina " means " Really Stupid Mother Fucker" and the commentators didn't have any clue what he said..lol

    The best there ever was. Efren doesn't even have the right to wax McCready's cue. Great shootin Evil.

    It's amazing how the mentality of the game has changed so much. The announcers are always suggesting offensive shots, even when defense is obvious. Very different these days.

    McCready was definitely a force to be reckoned with back then! I loved watching him play at Hard Times. He so animated. So after watching this I'm wondering a what time did Efren start playing ridiculously bomb with the kick-safeties (founded probably by him from God) and weird english shots (???).

    Amazing how little Mizerak seems to know about the shots, a 4-time straight pool world champion. Of course it's only an act to create intrigue among the layman viewers, but somewhat irritating anyway. I like these old matches though; they bring some flavor in pro matches that these days have no drama or emotion to speak of.

    AWESOME!!! Thank you! Do you have any more? Also, CLEARLY not a foul; the OB goes over 90 degrees off the line of the CB.
