Just wanted to let everyone know that we are beginning our 4th week of 14.1 league play at Shooters Billiards in Burnsville. The other day I found out that one of our league members actually played Willie Mosconi back in the early 60's. We presently have 10 players, some new to the game, and some of us that have been playing for quite awhile. But we are all enjoying ourselves.

BTW, Minneapolis area has several 14.1 leagues going including MN StraightPool, 3M league, Farmington Billiards and Shooters.

Glad to see that the game is alive and well up North. :thumbup2:

Any high runners?

Any good Mosconi stories?

I think Mark P scored the highest run in 2009 for the Twin Cities that I know about, it was 121.

I'm still trying to get to 50! My current is 42.

Should have a few more MNSPA leagues starting in the coming weeks too! Glad to see Shooter's 14.1 got back up and running again

No Mosconi stories yet to share. Beau Runningen had been getting his straight pool game ready recently for the Derby City Classic (I believe Mark P has been working with him).

I will try to get a high run list for 2010 going. Here is a link to the 2009 list.

Wow. 14.1 alive and kicking in MN.

I saw Beau shoot at Derby. I got vid of the marathon 3 + hour race to 100 with Charlie Williams. :boring2:

Mike Fieldhammer was shooting at Derby in the 14.1 challenge, too.

I see Jimmy Wetch and Samm Diep and lots of guys with good numbers. Sounds like a good league.

The list is a combination of all of the differant leagues around here plus individual non league matches (such as Mark P and Samm Diep's high runs). Most of the league high runs came from Matt's Mn Straight Pool League.

However I must add that a high percentage of last year's high runs came against me ;).

Both Dennis and Matt do a fantastic job, and put a ton of effort into keeping 14.1 alive and well out there in MN!

We enjoyed having the group of players from MN participate in the 14and1.com Nationals last year, and they finished well. Hope to see another group this year!
