    This article was first published in Business World, a national daily newspaper, on Saturday April 13th, 1996. It is reprinted here with the permission of the author. Ted Lerner. ...back to the Efren Reyes profile at billiardsforum.com Working­Class Hero April 13, 1996, by Ted Lerner Efren "Bata" Reyes is more than just one of the best pool players in the world. To many, he is a living legend, writes TED LERNER IT IS A HOT and sunny Saturday afternoon in late March and Efren Reyes is putting on an exhibition. The town is Angeles City, Efren's home town, and the place is Margarita Ville, a popular bar and restaurant on Field's Avenue. Efren has come here at the invitation of his American friend, John, the owner, for a day of some friendly pool. The challengers today are mostly foreigners, who make up the majority of Margarita Ville's customers. They have lined up for a chance to take on the master, to get their picture taken with him, and to be able to one day say to their friends around the bar, "I once played against Efren Reyes, the greatest pool player in the world." The bet for each match is P500. First man to win seven games wins the money. Of course, Efren has to give every challenger a major handicap. He practically gives the game away. In 9­Ball, where the balls have to be run consecutively until the winning nine ball is sunk, all the opponent has to do is sink the four, the six or the nine and he wins.
