Pretty sure the pic above is JB.Dear sweet baby Jesus, please don’t let John post a picture of himself in a Speedo.
I was a professional diver and I worked for the Great American High Diving team. They did shows all over the world and that summer I was assigned to Marineland. Technically I wasn't a high diver when I got there. As the rookie I was the fire diver. But over the summer I became a high diver and remained one throughout the rest of my time with Great American over the next few years.Highdiver at Marineland?

Huh?? Can't retro-actively FR someone. Well i guess you could IF you had access to EVERY game he played back then. So no, it can't be done. If making a wag based on what i'm seeing/reading he wasn't a champion but no run-of-the-mill shortstop either. Probably low 700's in his prime. Again, purely a wag.Just for reference, can anybody Fargo his better days?
With match scores, FR could be developed retro, ya don't think?Huh?? Can't retro-actively FR someone. Well i guess you could IF you had access to EVERY game he played back then.

750 or so would be more accurateHuh?? Can't retro-actively FR someone. Well i guess you could IF you had access to EVERY game he played back then. So no, it can't be done.

Possible? Yes Likely? Kinda doubt it.With match scores, FR could be developed retro, ya don't think?
Agree with the unlikely,given the effort.Possible? Yes Likely? Kinda doubt it.
I'm guessing all the top guys from the 80's would still be 780+ FR's.Agree with the unlikely,given the effort.
See? Just a general comparison is sufficient. Just curious who these legends could hang with is all.I'm guessing all the top guys from the 80's would still be 780+ FR's.
Top players would be top players regardless of their generation. Ralph Greenleaf would be a pool superstar if he played today.See? Just a general comparison is sufficient. Just curious who these legends could hang with is all.
The best, perhaps but this David Grossman is an undefined quantity.Top players would be top players regardless of their generation. Ralph Greenleaf would be a pool superstar if he played today.
Imo, that means they would play as well as necessary to get to the top, irrespective of era.Top players would be top players regardless of their generation. Ralph Greenleaf would be a pool superstar if he played today.
The best player and the one who leaves with the money are often different things.The best, perhaps but this David Grossman is an undefined quantity.
I watched an old video on YouTube. I think it was ronnie allen vs Grady mathews. Grady hits em REAL straight, with a sweet stroke too. Some of those guys would keep up just fine today.Imo, that means they would play as well as necessary to get to the top, irrespective of era.
It is a general statement- whatever (level of skill) it takes to win against whomever I gotta play- not a statement about the measurement of a specific player' proficiency.
The best pros of today are better than the best pros of yesterday were. In all sports.
I think we are both talking about apples now...I watched an old video on YouTube. I think it was ronnie allen vs Grady mathews. Grady hits em REAL straight, with a sweet stroke too. Some of those guys would keep up just fine today.
Shrewd fuk huh? He seems to get down on the ball vertical (like me) instead of wind mill or random inertia.The best player and the one who leaves with the money are often different things.
He was a solid player. I'd agree 700+
Put the current top 10 on shag cloth with a light cue ball and see how their game looks then.I think we are both talking about apples now...
I think either the improvements in the break shot OR in safety play and subsequent responses are enough to put the current top ten solidly ahead of any other decade's top ten.
It is a heavily knowledge-based game and what was secret 30-50 yrs ago is now common.
