Where and when did Danny shoot his 379?
Congrats Danny! This is good press that may stir up more interest in 14.1. :thumbup:

I have heard there were many witnesses for the Mosconi 526 ball run including a lawyer who signed an affidavit, who witnessed and authenticated the run on paper. The only thing I found strange about the story of the run, was from Mosconi himself. In one interview he stated he stopped shooting, because he was tired. So in other words, he was saying he didn't stop the run on a missed shot. Then there was another interview from Mosconi where he states that he missed a tough cut shot at 526. I don't understand why he had the 2 stories about the run. I still believe the run happened, but don't quite understand the two different versions of it. He might have just thought it would sound better if he said he just stopped.....I'm not sure
That affidavit was done after the fact.
If you take the time to make an affidavit, then I'd take the same amount of time to make sure that it wasn't questioned. Get people to print their names, and their address.
There is a thread somewhere on here about someone trying to locate all the people from that list, and it was found that there were no survivors left.

You can say that again and again and again and again........
Danny is a great friend of mine. I call him from time to time.
Back in 2008 when I was living in Lees Summit, Mo, Danny was running a straight pool league at Side Pockets. Did a great job and kept everyone excited about the game.
Glad to see your still knockin'em in.
And hey everyone, here's a guy that just loves the game and is quietly doing it for the love of it for sure. Danny's love for the game is about as pure as it gets.
Hope a sponsor will step up to the plate and make you an offer. I know I would if I could.
This guy is good for the game.
Hope to see you out there in the future strutting your stuff all over the world again.....
Your true friend gene.........

A Lawyer ?
A lawyer who signed an affidavit...Oh no now it may be in question, LOL.
Congrats, Mr. Harriman
No offense to Dmgwalsh !

It wasn't just the lawyer who put the affidavit together, there was also the room owner, Mosconi's opponent for that match, and the referee for the match that signed the affidavit. I think it strains credulity that those folks, along with the 33 others, would sign a false affidavit.
As to the two versions about how the run ended, I've also heard that he said he just got tired, but have never seen the interview, so it would be interesting to see exactly how (if) that was said. The reason I say that is because after the run Mosconi did say that he'd been getting tired anyway. So he might have just been misquoted or taken out of context. It is worth noting that in his biography, he says he missed.
As to living witness to the run, the 50 year anniversary of the run was in 2004 and the "Springfield News" did a commemorative section. In it they interviewed some guys who were there, so at least there a few alive not that long ago.

Good post, nice run.
Dude that's a full blown misread. I never said Mosconi's run was bogus or ever in question. There were 33 witnesses that signed an affidavit to authenticate the run alnog with a lawyer in attendance. This is a thread about Danny's run and I congratulated him on that incredible feat!! It's unreal to me when someone can put a run like that together...I was only wondering why there were two stories from Willie about the run. He probably ran so many balls all the time that details began to get fuzzy
. His 2 quotes are belowIn his autobiography, "Willie's Game," Willie (with co-author Stanley Cohen) writes: "I finally missed a difficult cut shot, but by that time I was weary; it was almost a relief to have it come to an end..
Mosconi often rapped around nostalgia with a run of 526 balls he says --"I never did miss," he says, "I got tired and quit.
The late George Rood talked about Mosconi quite a bit when I interviewed him. I never heard George doubt Mosconi's run (he was apparently not there), but he did comment on the table, which he said was 8' with "rather large" pockets. George actually owned the room for a while after the run, but that specific table was already sold (maybe even sold a few times, lol -- since there were several similar tables in the room).
I don't see anything wrong with comparing or contrasting Danny's fantastic run with Mosconi's historical run -- it's a natural to do that -- even though they are kind of apples to oranges given the equipment changes over the years.
For Danny to capture his run on tape lends credibility for sure! Congratulations, Danny!

Punter was commenting towards me as he has been known to follow my posts around this site. I wasn't trying to hijack but the 526 was brought up first and wanted to know how it was confirmed. Again, I said it was probably Louie's jealousy that made him say that. I believe Louie had a run in the high 300s himself. The affadvait signed is good to me. Back then, I am thinking that people weren't so formal in signing for contracts/affadavits, etc. as they are today. Thus why they didn't print their name, addresses, or other info.

My post was not directed specifically at you (I would have quoted you if it were). The first post about this was from Watchez, where he said he was told Mosconi missed a hanger and continued anyway. I read that as saying the run was bogus and Mosconi lied. JMO.
Don't flatter yourself Watchez. (And that's partially why I didn't quote you, so you wouldn't show your usual paranoia.)

You know Jay in addition to the 10K you can maybe consider charging the people trying to break that record by charging them say 500.00 and just add it to the pot. Say three people tried that would be be about 1500 so know the pot could be 11,500.00 just a thought.
