- 1-POCKET: BUDDY “The Rifleman” HALL and “Pittsburgh” BILLY INCARDONA are featured in a match at the 1994 Roanoke One-Pocket Championships. Buddy and Billy were renowned in their prime as top echelon players who weren’t shy to gamble. Hall, of course, has a host of tournament titles in his career including two U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships. Incardona, the “Voice of Accu-Stats” for over 30 years may know more about the game of one-pocket than anyone. Let’s see how they did so many years ago.
“Weanie Beanie” Bill Staton and Johnny Ervolino, the “Velvet Foghorn” kept you entertained.

I'm so grateful that Pat Fleming (accu-stats owner) makes these historical matches available to the public on TH-cam. Very generous as his business model would seem to be at odds with this. Thank you Pat.
It's really great to have a lot of these champions still around to watch learn and listen to.
One pocket is a really exceptional game, challenges player's intellect and skill on a completely different level.
Weenie Beenie as the host.. what a treat!
The transfers from film back then to video now make for some VERY nice viewing. In the taped versions from that era you're lucky if you can differentiate the balls. It is really nice.
Great match, it looked like there were a couple of funny exchanges between them and those back to back triple combos were great. They weren't hard and were the right shots, but I don't think I've seen that happen in a pro one pocket match. I saw the eight, but not the six.
I knew in my heart when the Rifleman flubbed that shot that Billy was going to put him away, and he did it in fine style. I hear Billy all the time commentating and he does a first class job of it. Fun to see him play, and easy to see why his commentary is so good.
And when he gets with Danny it is hilarious. They are like an old married couple sometimes, and I always get a kick when Danny shuts Billy down because Billy can't stop laughing. Danny's always good for a top notch quip or two, such as "he's amphibious". Thanks for posting this match.
Just say thank you to Mr. Bill Incardona. We wished my team thank you on the live stream for the predator expo in Vegas here recently. Thank you Mr. Bill for the blind squirrels
Bill Stanton was a great commentator. Relaxed, in the moment and really knowledgeable.
We agree!
always wanted to see how Billy played thanks
Billy I heard you mention some of the colorful "old timers" like Peter Rabbit. Downstairs in Mosconi in Philly. Every famous player came in to play The Rabbit who was always broke and lived with his mom at age 45. He gave me evry ball in 9 ball, won every game, then drove me home in a snowstorm. I was 16. Memories!
Great Match. Thank you for posting.
Our pleasure!
Billy signed my One Pocket book a few years ago when I was almost too scared of his fame and talent to ask him. What a gentleman. One time I saw him send a hundred bucks by Western Union to some hard-up guy halfway across the country. He asked a poolroom regular to take the cash and make the WU transaction, then had the grace to simply say "thanks" when the guy returned, pocketing the receipt without even looking at it.
He is an awesome guy, always has been a class act, I've been playing pool 35 years, NEVER heard 1 bad word about Billy
@@billysikes1374 Yes, but I don't know about your name. :-)
@@MrJdsenior just a pool player in Savannah Ga
@@billysikes1374 As I am from Orlando...I wonder if we are related in any way. Most of my Sikes' were up Connecticut/Mass way. I know that the Sykes/Sikes split occurred VERY early in my ancestors case, but I don't know if that happened regularly, with multiple immigrant families. I'm guessing it did. I have an cousin that has put massive effort into genealogy, so he might be interested. He's built up a book of the stuff. Cheers my friend.
@@MrJdsenior most of my family lives in Augusta Ga, aunt's in Birmingham, Strange that we both know our pool, Same last name, I used to play in a lot of the Pro tournys, never done any good, but I know anyone that you can nane, Have known Archer, Strickland, Buddy Hall, Nick Varner, Sigel, Efren, Bustamante, Shannon Daulton, was really good friends with Tony Ellin before he got killed, I didn't/dont play anything like I used to, I can play, but there's nowhere to play here anymore, hasn't been a pool hall here in 7 years, so pretty much everybody quit playing, all we have are bar tables, no champion players live here, I played a lot of pool in Jacksonville, Know EVERYONE there, I love the game, but there hasn't really been any great players here, but there used to be a ton of action here
cant thank u all enough for these wonderful videos
Great match Pat thanks
Billy the Kid! class act all the way. Love his Cognoscenti cue!
People always say the players of yesteryear where more conservative and less aggressive, yet both these players came out swinging. Loved it.
40:37 The match they’re talking about is Mike Sigel’s 150 and out video, where Johnny joined Weenie Beanie and Grady Matthews in the booth for the last few racks and Sigel used the exact same pattern at the end of every rack Johnny commentated on. I wasn’t playing when Johnny was around, but I imagine not too many people ever out-maneuvered him throughout his career.
My very first opponent in one pocket tournament was Brian White out of N.C. last year. Both these guys shoot great. One pocket can last hour to 5 minutes. Love this game
Great match, love all of the videos from the 90s. The guy in the front row wearing all blue I see him in all your accu-stats match, must be nice
I think what he is wearing is called a "Canadian Tuxedo".
How is that not a foul from Billy at 35:29 and why would Buddy not ask for a neutral party to call the hit seeing what Billy was going to attempt? I have no beef with who was the winner, just surprised Buddy sat silent during a pretty important point in the match.
not sure if that rule existed back in 94, but they play cueball fouls only in 1P for many years in the big tournaments (DCC)
What a treat!👍
Yes it was!
The “cue stroke” of Accu-Stats!!!¡!
I wish Pat would post the match from this event that was Incardona vs. Dave Bollman. It was a great match. R.I.P. DB.
In time, in time. 🙂
@@AccuStats Are you still gonna post the match from this event that was Incardona and Dave Bollman?
Both players tweaking- you gotta love the 90s
Thanks Pat not much video of Buddy playing one pocket
More to come!
@@AccuStats There is a one-pocket match between Buddy Hall and Jeremy Jones that was commentated by Billy and Danny. It is amazing to watch, if I remember correctly it took up more than one VHS tape. I lost or broke the tape, I hope to someday see that match again. It is amazing, and the commentary is an absolute hoot.
It's 3 1/2 hours long. Maybe in two episodes.
The most important shot is the one right after the break. This match illustrates that reality well.
I’m not 100% sure but I think if that corner bowl is not frozen when you break from the side it actually caramels off the bottom ball and goes in
LOL, you should commentate.
Every time the 'ol man spoke, it seemed like he was about to call in a hit, lol!!!!!
I wanted to see Buddy back cut the 7-ball in his first shot in the hill-hill game.
Billy i a lot of fun to watch in a game of 1 hole
Buddy’s been up for 3 days and Billy’s nose itches
Pat it would be cool to see player's like Mark Tadd, Tony Watson, and Jerey Watson in the near future
We have Mark Tadd, but not the Watsons.
Weenie Beenie is the Bob Ross in pool commentary.
No wonder he was constantly robbed, heisted, tied to trees behind poolhalls etc lol.
35:29 Billy scratches and does not call it on himself
i got a bludworth cue that my friend buddy hall signed for me
35:28 isn't that a foul?? he clearly touches the other ball with his cue... why does nobody say anything? I'm sure he felt it and others must have seen it too
Its not a foul, Buddy had choice of leaving the ball where it was or moving it back. Which is what likely happened but commentators didn’t say anything for some reason
jack roush in the back ground?
Can we get a Ronnie Allen one pocket video and a Gary Nolan nine ball ? Thank you
Ronnie Allen, yes. Gary Nolan, sorry, no.
All the Ronnie Allen you have would be highly educational
Billy played well!
Is that billy bob thorton? 🤔
What is the size of that table? 7'?
9 ft
@@AccuStats Thanks. Optical illusion.
After 2nd time he made a ball on the break, nah, we need a racker..
How did ya'll get Joe Pesci to help comment on this game?
Ervalino doesn't give a peep of strategy
I guess Buddy deserved to lose. Even though I am a huge BH fan. He missed several shots he would normally make, and made a few decisions that were obviously not the best. Interesting to see him play 1-ball. This is probably the first time I’ve seen that.
by the way those Kim Steel tables were terrible. I did maintenance on them for over 10 years. they were made just like the new Predator tables
Who is the commentator with the raspy voice?
That was Johnny Ervolino. His nickname was The Velvet Foghorn.
A good 14.1 player of back in the days….
At 35:28 isn’t that a foul?!?!
Yup.
Traditionally, one pocket is only cue ball fouls.
35:25 Billy shooting over the 13 with the rake. He hits the 13 with his cue. That should be a foul. Anyone know if they were playing all ball fouls here? It should always be all ball fouls though. A class and higher should never expect anything less.
Must be Q-ball fouls only.
I had the pleasure of being able to spend a couple weeks with Buddy in the pool room in StLouis about this time He had no problem practicing with a 26 yr old kid that was working part time at the pool room I learned tons from him and Louie Robert’s
