Alfredo De Oro, the Cuban billiards star, is largely forgotten these days — probably because his spectacular career occurred before living memory and because his exploits were overshadowed by the very colorful Ralph Greenleaf, who followed close on his heels. But de Oro was among the first inductees into the Billiard Congress Hall of Fame. He also mounted a championship career that would rival that of Greenleaf or any of the other lions. De Oro was born April 28, 1863 in Manzanillo, Cuba. He died on April 23, 1948.
