Mosconi seems to have embodied one image and approach to the game, while Fats was the polar opposite. Which do you think had more of an impact, on the current state of the game?

Neither one. Few, if any, young/current players know or give a rats' ass about players that far back. Color of Money MAYBE but not these two.Mosconi seems to have embodied one image and approach to the game, while Fats was the polar opposite.

the English guy who first put chalk on the tip
SlickRick...Actually, that was Mingaud as well. He invented the leather tip, while in jail in France, and was the first person to put chalk (calcium carbonate) on it, to make things like masse' happen. Many thought that he was some kind of black magic person for a while. :thumbup:

Definitely correct!Neither one. Few, if any, young/current players know or give a rats' ass about players that far back. Color of Money MAYBE but not these two.
Definitely correct!
Let those dinosaurs stay buried and back off on trying to 'dig them up'. There seems to be a twisted sentimental reverence for these old players which they simply do not deserve.
Time moves on and few people care who robbed so-and-so at Bensingers or who shot down "high rolling Louie" at the big tournament in 1965.

Yet it's sad people like you who craps on the players of the past and the rich history of billiards...
I almost thought his post was a joke lol, but maybe he’s serious.
There was a golden age of pool and I’m definitely interested. I love nostalgia you just have to be realistic as well. I could read old war stories all day to get myself pumped up for serious play.
There’s nothing wrong with playing in a league but don’t fool yourself into thinking that’s all Pool is about.
"rich history".......????????? :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:Yet it's sad people like you who craps on the players of the past and the rich history of billiards...
