Semi-Finals at 1988 PBA Brunswick World Open at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Keith McCready v. Earl Strickland. Earl talks to himself; Keith talks to the crowd. Great vintage video of a formal pool tournaments from this era. Earl at this time was heralded as the 4-time Akron Open champion and two-time U.S. Open 9-Ball Champion, though he later went on to win five U.S. Opens. Earl is in the prime of his caeer here at a young 26, and Keith was a mere 30. Steve Mizerak and Barry Tompkins commentating.
