Earl Strickland fans – Check out our new gallery

Earl Strickland fans – Check out our new gallery of the 1982 Dayton 9-Ball Open. This was Earl’s first significant tournament victory. He bested Buddy Hall in the finals for the win. There are only 19 B&W images in this small gallery as I shot only a single roll of Tri-X film at this tournament. By the way, the files I uploaded to Smugmug are all over 1 megabyte in size, so they have plenty of resolution for nice prints. They may be downloaded or you can order prints from Smugmug. I hope you enjoy checking out these historic old pics.

Thanks for the uploads, those are great pictures. I would have never recognized Earl. I never knew he once owned a big smile....lol.

Yes, but he unfortunately lost it in a pool match.

Cycopath....is that Keith McCready seen with Tom Cruise in that picture?

Thanks

Yeah.

From the movie 'Color of Money'.

Back when Keith was not quite so 'long in the tooth'. Pun completely intended.
