Mosconi I think all the current top 14.1 guys are impressive. The thing that will never change, whether someone comes along and runs 527+ is, the aura of and respect for Willie Mosconi to this day. If there was a Mount Rushmore of Pool and Billiards, Mosconi, Greenleaf, Hoppe and Cuelemans...

Here's my fantasy Mosconi Cup team. Mosconi , of course, Greenleaf, Lassiter, Worst and Crane. Lassiter sinks the winning ball, throws his cue INTO the stands, jumps on the table, grabs his crotch, does a little jig then jumps into his team mates arms, all the while screaming like a banshee...
