    It’s good to have someone around 80 years old here to keep the posting diversified

    especially now since SammyOdom has been sacrificed to the Sheela Na Gigs Gods

    Fats was the showman, but Mosconni unbeatable.

    Jackie Gleason, I saw as one of the greatest all-around entertainers of all time,-played Minessota Fats, didn't he?
    No, let me change that statement above. I believe he was the greatest all-around. A natural at everything he did.

    your user name reminded me of this match i watched 2 years ago but without Cosell and we had a wilie mosconi pool hall for like 25 years and he appeared there to take on the top locals i was young then but pool halls are now rare in philly after being popular from movie Color of Money

    BUT i know that record of mosconi running 200 str8 balls will never be broken

    I had an uncle with the Gleason look and charisma. Unfortunately he died of a heart attack about the age of 52.'

    It is a good thing this isn't a billiards forum as this is a hot topic. But I believe your numbers are off/low. I think Mosconi's high run was 526. It was beat back in 2019 by a run of 626 and that was beat earlier this year by a 714.
