I just today found out I'm related to this guy. He was my grandma's uncle.

[GetMeThere1]

practice, practice, practice.....and then he walks out with a tranny?!?!?!

[LeonFleisherFan]

Truly loved and admired the guy, all smiles and graces, and so obliging - helped me buy a terrific cue for less once, which I still own and which still reminds me of him each time I unpack it. I hope they've got pool tables up there, Steve!

[TheSlovak223]

R.I.P. Steve....One great player.

[TheSgtGohan]

wwe the miz is better:)

[bobbyfozz]

Steve was a grade ahead of me at St. Ambrose College in Davenport. He was ALWAYS at the pool halls which pretty much screwed up his grades. I think he eventually got a BA in education somewhere else. Nice guy, but seriously good at pool.

[42949]

formidable player yet a great down to earth guy. R.I.P.

[logger2020]

thanks for all the memories steve you were great and one of the reasons why i love this game so much.

[ihcug90]

[sonnydukes]

[maxi2007a]

And moral of the Story is.......

[1019drummer]

practice practice practice...............

[LadyE77]

My husband and I had the honor of having him at our wedding December of 97. What a gentleman. he's a friend of my husband's family. We were shocked when he passed away. He will be missed

[symbolicXpixel]

Sears created pool tables in honor of Mizerak. Long live the king of billiards!

[doug022771]

Steve,how do you do that? Practice,practice,practice.

[Supertramp1966]

I'm very envious! Wish i could say I got the chance to meet "The Miz", or better yet, play him. He stopped playing the Sands tourny in Reno before I started going up there. But I got to know Buddy Hall and have some very fond memories of him.

[ablalien]

I had the honor to play Steve a few years back in Melbourne, Fl. It was a hell of a match that I will never forget. Thanks for the memories Miz, I will never forget you or that match. Miz-7 Alien-5. Nice comeback Steve.

[Supertramp1966]

Steve was a great player from the "hay-day" of pool! Him, Buddy Hall, Nick Varner, ... RIP, Steve... you were a pool icon! I still enjoy watching your videos from The Sands Tourny's in Reno... -CR

[CalebChrisMabry]

"Even when you're just showin' off".

[42949]

he's up there with the pool god's "greenleaf,mosconi,lassiter and many others to list."

[A3QPVOT]

Well done

[baroqueboy15]

That last run in the bar was quite impressive.

[zan6669]

Steve was the reason I got into pool, and improved my game. More nights than others I keep his memory with me.

[D15HRR]

RIP, Sir...

[9balling]

r.i.p......say hi to my dad =p

[dbcooper777]

Steve, you were the best.

Rest in peace, champ.

[tempusfugit13579]

The last part of the vid I remember from when I was a kid and the lite beer commercials would come on during the baseball games. We went around school saying, "even when you're just showing off!" Awesome!

[grumpybb]

Great vid. Thank you!

[SickDrummer24]

man, what a video, especially at the end, this guy was definatly born to play pool!!!

R.I.P STEVE!!! R.I.P.!

[dfranks5]

what a class act...thanks for the post

[viciousvamp]

Awesome man!

[TheGodOfPez]

The guy was a bonafide legend, those beer commercials make me wish I was younger! :)

[WillieDines1]

It's always a treasure to look back and enjoy the memories of a true legend :), thank you BCN for such a great video and this is a tribute that shows Steve's good and happy nature, that everyone liked so much about him :)

RIP Steve and thank you Billiard Club Network :) Willie

[hoover182]

Wow, that last trick shot was even better than I remember. RIP Steve.

[alamoghostbuster]

I talked to Steve a number of times through the years and he had to audition to get that beer commercial gig. The director felt he was the only pool player that auditioned that could walk, talk and shoot at the same time.

[alamoghostbuster]

I also understand he had to do about 40 takes to get the trick to happen for the camera.

[spamforbobby]

More like 191 takes, if I recall correctly.
