How long was Mosconi's reign? I didn't realize he was the clear cut champ, but that not my era.
How long was mike Siegel's reign.
He has to be the longest, right?
Mosconi won his first world title in 1941, his last in 1957.
Strange how threads like this always seem to pop up after he wins YET another tournament...

According to his autobiography, the last was in 1956 in Kinston, NC. He had his stroke in December, 1956 and didn't play much in 1957.
[Apparently Wiki is wrong, saying he won the BCA World Championship in 1957.]
Haha, that's right. The next one will be, SVB is good an all, but, he hasn't won a """World Title""" so, he's not in consideration for the best whatever thread...Fixed it for you, :thumbup:
Maniac
Not to nit pick but he technically hadn’t won it yet when I posted it
I’m actually not a huge fan on Shane’s. Don’t dislike him either. I’m just stating on observation and I’m genuinely curious as to whether anybody has been as consistently excellent as him for as long a period since Mosconi
Earl won a hell of a lot of world championships and us opens he was the top rotation player in the US for at least as long as shane has been imop. Johnny and the rest wasnt on that level.
