Notable quotes

“I'm not much of a tournament player, but I am, I guess, a tournament groupie.”
Eric Stone
“the gang's all here. There are a fair amount of Europeans here. Not as many as one would think, but we're halfway around the world. But the top players in the U.S., as I said to a lot of people, the gang's all here.”
Eric Stone
“I had heard Joe on his podcast at some point in time talk about Frontier, and he was not a big fan of it.”
Eric Stone
“I had that Comet song stuck in my head... I actually went and played that today... and so I thought, well, maybe there's a reason I have that song in my head. So I picked Comet.”
Eric Stone
“If you're into pinball, you like tournament play, you want to see some of the best players in the world like Eric, put it on your calendar for next January and head to sunny California.”
George
