As soon as he keeps his concentration on "ALL" shots, and improves his cross rail simple banks, AJ Manas may be in the conversation. He appears to have as much natural ability as anyone and more than 90% of the top rated 100. ICE runs through his veins under pressure.

Forget that stupidity of "longer" shots on a 9 ft table. THE ONLY KEY THING HERE IS THE 4X8 TABLE! Its 3-5 times harder to run 100 balls on a 4x8 table because of the spread. None of these clowns beat Mosconi's record until they do it on a 4x8. Their accomplishments on the bigger table is...

Blumenthal only played on a table with pockets big enough for big bar table ball to fit into. My only dealing with him was in 1964, when i challenged him to go play Hunziker in Pensacola, to bet whatever they wanted. No go! He played everybody, for 20 years including Chenier, but only on his table.

AJ beat Yapp 10-6 did they play a second time where he lost to Yapp on the hill? He beat Yapp 10-4 last year!

This is what happens when there are only young people making up lists; and then to stupid to realize that there were over a hundred male players that no woman could have beaten. To attempt to set the record straight, between 1920-1980 the accepted best were...

Your all to young to know. Before Ronnie Allen, John "Rags" Fitzpatrick was the GOAT at one pocket He gave Taylor 9-8 and it was an even game, took 9-8 playing banks, also an even game HE DIED IN 1960 AGE 41. Lingo gave anyone 9-7 sight unseen, beat Squirrel that way. Squirrel waited until Lingo...

Apparently, he passed the day before his 76th birthday. Only time I met him, was in Richmond VA cir 1976, if he was the same Hawaiian Brian (7-20-43 to 7-19-19) He was with Bobby Mills, who was latter convicted of the "Mummy Murders"

Beenie came up with a holdout table around 71? and got nailed by two brothers he was playing heads up with. It was a crude table, with only a flimsy cloth covering the underneath.. He always carried Kem cards to play with. He asked my running mate to go somewhere for him, gave him his keys, not...

The only thing I know about the rack, was that Weenie Beanie dumped too "Jay" a jewel thief from Florida, in order to beat Phil Hubbard, who had been in on a beat of Beenie back in VA. Beanie was asking for his money back when he caught a Phil Hubbard backed card player holding out on him. He...

Rags gave Taylor 9-8 in one pocket, took 9-8 in banks; both were even games. If that tells you anything. He also took trips out to California every year, and stopped in Oklahoma to relieve Lingo of his money. Born in 1918, just like Taylor and Lassiter, he was known to be the best all around...

The first time I met Ritchie was 1964 in Pensacola Florida, when was playing Dick Hunziker. Next time 1971? in Weenie Beenie's Jack and Jill in Arlington Va. Then 1986 I was on a crap table in the Stardust, and heard a voice behind me, talking to a guy about caps. As i turned around I said...
