I've never heard a claim of anyone else running 400 or more as often as John. Including the 626, he now has these 8 (or 7*) runs of 400 or more:
626 -- 5/27/2019 at Easy Street Billiards in Monterey, CA. Ended with a miss on a combination shot after pocketing 10 balls in the 45th rack.
490 -- 5/15/2019 at Easy Street Billiards. Ended with a miss on a difficult break shot for the 36th rack.
464 -- 4/16/2019 at Bull Shooters Billiards & Sports Bar in Phoenix, AZ. Ended with a miss on a long, nearly straight shot after the break shot (made 2 balls) in the 34th rack.
434* -- 12/3/2018 at Easy Street Billiards. Ended with a scratch (a massé-like turn of the cue ball) on the break shot for the 32nd rack. It appears that John touched an object ball with his finger as he lined up for ball #102 of this run, so some people feel this run ended at 101 rather than 434.
421 -- 5/9/2019 at Easy Street Billiards. Ended on a jacked-up miss of the 2nd ball of the 31st rack.
407 -- 11/(27±2)/2019 at Easy Street Billiards
403 -- 10/13/2007 at Q-Master Billiards in Virginia Beach, VA
400 -- 6/28/2004 at Hidden Pocket Billiards in Milton, FL
[If anyone is certain of any other details on the 407, 403, or 400, please let us know. And let me know of any errors in the above info.]

Yes, I come close. I have seven runs under 400.
In keeping with the theme, the marketing and sales of it is documented as a minor train wreck on an older thread here somewhere.
I thought this thread was for just throwing out random accusations.
We been saying that for 2 yrs now, they refuse,
They'd have nothing to argue about on the interwebs if they did see it
For those that may have missed it....

Just more drivel from your yapper....it either happened or it didn't and so far all the evidence says it happened.
There is zero evidence that it didn't happen.
It happened. Its recorded, been viewed by many and certified by the professional organizations. Those that wish to see the historic event can go and not only watch the run but talk to the person that completed the amazing feat as they view it.
Hopefully there will be a viewing in my neck of the woods. I'll certainly go view the historic event.

I believe Mosconi said he thought he'd run over 600 four times.
Several of the old-time players also had many high runs. Then of course there was Babe Cranfield's 768.

Well first off, I'm not exactly sure what is being shown at these presentations.
Is it the original unedited footage or something that's been edited, narrated, and maybe even has had inspirational music dubbed in? I dunno, do you? Besides all that, these kinds of showing are for entertainment purposes and are certainly not conducive to giving the run close scrutiny. So why bother?
In any case, my "world view" will be just fine.

It was accepted by the BCA.Present that evidence or. Until THEN it never happened and never will be accepted as having happened.
What else is needed? Your nutbag approval?
Present that evidence or
its accepted by everyone THE NEW WORLD RECORD SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX BIG BALLS RAN CONSECUTIVELY
cept for less than a handful of guys
that boy aint right
I am 100% fine with you never ever accepting it...your delusion is not my problem. Go sit on a street corner in your pajamas, sip a nice warm bottle of MD 20/20 and mumble about shaved slate and chalk wizzing near your head to whoever walks by....maybe they'll throw a few coins in your shinebox.Present that evidence or
Yup, the entire world has accepted it other than a few Mosconi nut huggers. Funny, I still think Mosconi was the best that ever was and I have an autographed pic of him by my pool table at home.
Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's record of most consecutive games played, over 14 years playing without missing a game. It takes skill to do it that long without being benched, ever, and you need dedication to keep playing almost every day even in the dog days of summers, playing with numerous bumps and bruises. And you need to be lucky, to never break something or have an injury serious enough to keep you out of the line up. And mental toughness as you closed in on the record.
Cal breaking the record did NOT diminish Gehrig's career in the least. And nobody, not Cal himself, will tell you he was a better player than Gehrig. And I'd better a million bucks JS does not believe himself better or even equal to Mosconi. So, not really sure what the concern is.
thats all you got left
