Ha, those were good times indeed Jenny. Love the jeans. Wow.
Jay, on a nice night in 2009 I think, I finally broke 200. Ran a 207, and believe me I felt awkward about including myself on the list - even mentioned in one of the posts that I was well aware of the absurdity of labeling myself a 200-ball-runner since I only did it once and by 7 balls. I can only hope you believe me that it was not my purpose, when creating that list, to see my name up in lights like that. Still, the best pool compliment I ever got was from Ginky, and he said that I ran hundreds like a 200-ball-runner. That always meant the world to me.
The list itself was an interesting exercise because I wanted to get a true accounting of how common (or uncommon) the 200 ball run was. Any list involving "all-time" would be hopelessly incomplete, so in an attempt to fix that, the "must be alive" requirement was added. It hasn't been updated in a while but I think for a time we had a pretty good record of those who had done it.
