He was clearly a 14.1 master.
Not so well known: he gave 3cushion a ( good) try as well....
Even less well known:

I did hear a good snooker anecdote about Greenleaf, though. He walked into a pool room where a few guys were trying to play straight pool (with pool balls) on a snooker table. None had even been able to run a rack. They asked Ralph if he wanted to try. He picked up a house cue and ran about 70 balls.

I'm pretty sure I remember a story about Greenleaf playing in at least 1 round robin tournament, races to 125 where he never missed a called ball !
We don't have anybody playing today that is capable of that in my opinion.

My recollection of the story was that he missed six balls which is still pretty good. I think he probably also played safe.
