Is there anyone alive that saw Mosconi's run? I am only asking because Louie said to me a couple of times - and this may have just been the jealousy of one pool player over another - that Mosconi actually missed a hanger in the middle of his run and the crowd told him to keep going. I was rather 'green' in my pool knowledge at the time so didn't question him on it further.

Congrats on the great run Danny. I do hope one day that Danny and John can bury the hatchet because it would be great to see these guys play and help promote the game of straight pool. Life is short and one day you both might look back on this bitter rivalry as very stupid and small in the big picture.
Which Louie said this?

There was only one Louie, Mr. JoeyA.

Just like as many that said they were at Woodstock, it would fill all of NY twice, if everyone that said they were in that poolroom when Mosconi ran the 526, the room would have to be as big as a football field. Johnnyt
I was at Woodstock! It rained cats and dogs! :yes:

Gotta be second hand info....Louis was too young to have seen it.
I knew Russ Maddox and I think he would have mentioned it.
.....or George Rood....I can't picture him not talking about it.
