Palmerfan and Jay Helfert - High Run list

Steve Lipsky said:

I'm not on the forum much at all anymore but I just noticed a thread on Danny Harriman's big run where Palmerfan used some high run list that he credited to me, and Jay saw some missing names, and then Palmerfan said to blame the author.

Just want to clear my name - the only list I remember doing was a list of verified, living 200-ball-plus runners. None of those names Jay mentioned would have been eligible, and beyond that, the exact list Palmerfan showed had a bunch of guys who weren't living. Maybe someone posted that list in my thread, but it didn't come from me.

Thanks,
Steve

P.S. Apologies in advance if I actually posted a list like this in 1998 or something haha.

It's be hard to read a post on this forum from 1998. :wink:

You were recently tagged in my photo as being in the background with Nick Shulman. What a small world it is sometimes, especially in the pool world!

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.

Thank you Eric... you just truly made my day. Those German straight pool champions are not just great players but they are, to a one, spectacular people.

Steve, look at it this way. John Schmidt has run 400, but only once or twice, yet we call him Mr. 400. He earned it by doing it.

Likewise, you earned it. Steve "Mr. 200" Lipsky has a nice ring to it. :smile:

Hey Palmer,

No hard feelings at all but here's where I got it:

The title of that post is in bold and says "Not my list Jay... scold the author."
