Does anyone know if there are any records of all the 150 ball runs in pro events in history? Or even just 100 ball runs? There doesn't seem to be. I mean, we all know that Mosconi had a whole bunch and there are even 150's on video (Sigel, Crane, Archer, etc) but I'd love to see an exact number for each player, like how many 100 ball runs did Mizerak, Martin and Joe Balsis have? In snooker they keep exact records - you can look up any player and find out how many centuries they've ever had in their whole career and who has the most 147's (O'Sullivan 9). I really wish their were better records in pool.
 
in the european championschip 14-1, im sure there must have been alot of 100+ or 125 and out's. i wish they kept more stats too, but the difference is, that there are WAY to many pool events to keep it all together..

Wow, that's a toughie, Bobby. I've been to about a dozen different World 14.1 Championships, and when I go, I go for the length of the event. Here are my thoughtsbased on the ones I have attended.

First of all, most of the matches in the 5 x 10 era were played to 125, so nearly all the 150 and out runs in competition have been in the last 50 years. In a typical world 14.1 championship, there are about 6 different runs over 100, and a 150 and out probably occurs once in every four World 14.1 Championship events.

In the 4 1/2 x 9 era, there have been about 40 world 14.1 championship events, so my guess would be that there have been 240 different runs of over 100 and about 10 runs of 150 nand out. Of course, there were other major 14.1 events, most notably the US Open, Johnston City, the Stardust, and all the Eastern States Tour championships.

The most recent run of 150 and out in World 14.1 championship play was by Thorsten Hohmann against Ralf Souquet at the 2008 event.

After watching, playing and refereeing recent years' EPC's, I'd say there are about 10-15 centuries ran every year at the 14.1 EPC and usually less than 5 125-outs but always at least a couple. Also I've witnessed 125-out in a Finnish 14.1 ranking event, not by Mika though :)
 
At the 2006 world championships, Thorsten's run against john schmidt was 172 and out in a race to 200.

Thorsten also had TWO 150 and out's in the same day at the Maryland state championships in 2007. Fortunately, both were captured on video.

I haven't the faintest idea how to check on this. I do know that Irving Crane was/is the only player to run 150 and out in a final of a world championship, against Joe Balsis.

Thanks Stu, I don't think there's anyone alive who knows more about the World 14.1 Championships in the last 35 years than you!

I know that there seem to be more 100+ runs in lesser events, I guess because there's less pressure in those. So to me the Worlds and the U.S. Open are the true tests, IMO.

I don't think so. I haven't seen it in a long time but the game went a few innings and I believe Crane made a few and scratched them away before running the 150 to win.
That is not the same as running out in one inning.

He never said it was in one inning, just that he had run 150 balls and out.

The point of the 150 and out is to do it the first time you have an open shot. That can be accomplished only once a game. Otherwise it would be like saying a guy ran 125 and out or 100 and out, but neglecting to say it was a 150 point game. The mystique of the 150 and out is the one inning game.
I saw Mosconi do it three time in one week. Twice his opponent broke and never came back to the table. That is what I saw but Mosconi I am sure did it a zillion times in his career.

i understand about the mystique of a 150 and out in one inning, I was merely pointing out that the original poster said Crane was the only player to run 150 and out in a final which was true, one inning or 10 innings , no one else ever did that.
