Greatest players never on Mosconi Team?

[RichSchultz]

Who are the best players (obviously US or European, and during Cup era) never selected to play on a Mosconi Cup team?

Toastie?

That is nuts. How'd he never make the team?

Well, your pic shows a Bar box, so probably in the next few years you'll be a shoe in.:thumbup:

That's what I was thinking...just waiting on the call

Keith McCready, Larry Nevel, Mark Tadd, Danny Basavich, Jon Hennessy... Landon Shuffett.

Keith 100% no comment on the rest, although many of them are great, Keith is the Standout!

Willie Mosconi

Buddy Hall was never on as a player (only coach). THAT has to be the answer.

 

[Cornerman]

Given the list of players who have surprisingly represented the USA, then Mike Sigel is the easy answer. Surely we needed Sigel over Ditoro or Gerni.

Sigel and Hall!

Sigel and Hall!

I never realized that...and Buddy could still play when the Mosconi was in it’s early years.
....he won the US Open when he was on the senior tour.
Sigel a little more understandable, he was semi-retired then.

I think a man who would’ve been good for the team was the Bushwhacker, Gary Nolan...
...formidable under heat.

 

[Nine ... corner]

I think Sigel is the obvious choice. Even the Magician names Sigel as the best. :thumbup:

Mike Sigel, for the most part, had already retired from competition before there was a Mosconi Cup.

Mike Sigel, for the most part, had already retired from competition before there was a Mosconi Cup.

But if they got Dallas West twice, Paul Gerni (never a touring pro), Mike Massey, and John DiToro on the team, you’d think Sigel should have been dragged out off the fishing boat long before these guys.

Mike Sigel, without a stupid doubt. And, if you could dig him up out of the ground for nine ball, Luther Lassiter.

All the best,

The first 9 Cups (1994-2002) were all in England; then they started alternating between USA and Europe. From what I heard, Buddy was invited to be on Team USA, but he declined because he wouldn't fly.
