Synopsis

Road Player: The Danny Diliberto Story. This new book by Jerry Forsyth, Pool & Billiards Magazine's premier writer, was just released at the Derby City (pool and billiards) Tournament on January 6th, 2006 and was an instant smash. Published by Bebob Publishing, it is a lifetime of stories from the vibrant memory of Danny Diliberto, one of Accu-Stat Video's most popular commentators. Beginning with the Hustler's Tournaments in Johnston City, Diliberto was one of the fabled road players. He excelled in four sports: baseball, bowling, boxing, and pool. Boxing was his first love, but his own hands could not stand the power of his blows. Pool gave him his greatest fame and that's what this book is about. Any devotee of the game will be fascinated with this look into the immediate past of pool and billiards. From Las Vegas to Hollywood to the smallest towns on the most distant highways, this is the life of the roadman, a gambler's tale in his own words. A great book!
