Review

"A tremendously satisfying road story. What makes RUNNING THE TABLE so special is not the pool prowess of its protagonist but the unlikely bond between two wildly different young men who find each other through an exhilarating, often infuriating game. They may have plenty of tricks up their sleeves, but their friendship was never a hustle."

Publisher's note

A Sports Illustrated writer offers a colorful portrait of Danny Basavich, a New Jersey-born pool hustler known as Kid Delicious, and his set-up man, Bristol Bob, as they embark on a four-year odyssey through the pool halls and urban billiard rooms of America, and from seamy hustler to professional pool phenom.

Annotation

Overweight, bullied, and clinically depressed, New Jersey teen Danny Basavich found solace in the local pool hall, and soon became the best player in New Jersey, and a famed hustler. After beating a notorious Manhattan pool shark named Kid Vicious for $4200, one of the unbelieving railbirds said, "Kid Vicious just got beat by Kid Delicious" and the legend of Kid Delicious was born. Teaming up with "Bristol Bob" Begey, the 300-pound Delicious took to the road, criss-crossing America hustling unsuspecting jocks, cowboys, and crime lords, and making nearly a half-million in the process. In RUNNING THE TABLE sportswriter L. Jon Wertheim brings this wonderful true story to life--the games and the hustles are spellbinding, but it's the richness of the characters that make this book such a winner.
