People within his power were seeking knowledge, and knowledge is what he offered them. The game is what he represented. It was a prostitute’s dream, and a pimp’s paradise. Everyone thought there was nothing in the little town of Fresno, California, except grape cutters and cotton pickers. However, seven true players rose up into the game in that town, and became icons of the lifestyle. No one played the game better then that seven. There were eleven players originally called, but seven of those were always a cut above the rest. They made an incredible impact on the game, and were called the Magnificent Seven. When these seven stood around in a downtown bar called the Elks Club, the women would stare at them as though they were edible fruit. Everyone loved to watch them, but were afraid to approach them. Every move they made was under close watch. After many years, though, they began fading in presence. One by one, 6,5,4,3,2, they faded, until there was only one left in the game. That one remained strong. He became the epitome of the game in Fresno.
