Rest in peace to Cecil P. "Buddy" Hall
May 29 1945 - May 22 2025
Inducted into the BCA Hall Of Fame in 2000
Cecil P. "Buddy" Hall, also known as "The
Rifleman" for his straight shooting, was the first Hall of Fame Inductee
of the millennium and the 39th inductee since the Billiard Congress of America
Hall of Fame was created in 1966. Mr.
Hall was born in 1945 in Metropolis, IL and has been recognized as a
championship player for three decades, garnering over 50 professional titles.
Titles include the Caesar's Tahoe 9-Ball Championship (1982 & '84); the
International 9?Ball Classic ('91); Challenge of Champions ('92); and the U.S.
Open 9-Ball Championship ('91 & '98). Hall has also won three of the ten
richest top prizes in pool, and many consider him to be one of the most
fundamentally solid 9-Ball players of all time. He has been selected as Player of the Year in 1982, 1991, and
1998, and Senior Tour Player of the Year in 1998. Rags to Rifleman, a biography of his life and career, was
published in 1995.
