A List of the Greatest Pool Players of All-Time

[Magictrat007]

Of the earlier era Greenleaf was considered the best ever by his peers, over Mosconi who was second. In the modern era Harold Worst was the greatest player I ever saw, then there are a whole slew of seconds starting with Efren and Parica. Sigel, Strickland, Hall and Mizerak are right there as well. We can make it my top ten all time by adding Caras and Crane to the early generation list. Oops, looks like it was eleven players on my list. Wouldn't leave any one of them out though.

Wow u saw Worst play in person ??

Not sure he was the Greatest, but the book about his like calling Red, "Cornbread Red: Pool's Greatest Money Player" was a wonderful read.

I was told that Lassiter used to send the cue ball off the side rail back through the rack area to move the nine ball. I imagine he only did that if the nine wasn't moving. He may have known a thing or two about breaking that some are just now discovering.

Thanks, Bob. While I saw Lassiter play numerous times, it was never in his prime.
