Danny! Another response to a post from six months ago.

You have a pretty profound hate on for John Schmidt. It's going to be what you're remembered for.

I don't know about that. If you Google his real name- Charles Daniel harriman- there's pretty notable shit that is the first hit.

There's a post in this thread where he mentions John Schmidt's not 626's real name and alleges use of another name is the result of deception.

Hypocrisy, lies, hate. That's what he offers.

Just hilarious!

NYTIMES does not validate attempts or records.

If the 626 was approved by Guinness World Records there would be no issue.

But it was not. That is why I support Dan's argument.

The 526 record your new man-crush insists is still standing is not in the Guinness book either. Explain your thought process.

I’ve known John since He was a kid, and a Regular at Hard Times Sacramento. He was a respectful young man who grew to be a fine gentleman, so I have No Doubt He ran every ball He, and Charlie, documented on video.

I believe he did it too. Didn't Hard Times Sacramento open when he was comfortably into his twenties though? I'm from the NorCal area and may have my dates screwed up.

If the BCA can pay for a few press releases, they can be to have the record part of a mainstream publication like Guinness.

As it is the 626 feels like a Ripley's Believe it or not exhibit.
 
Guinness is a for profit enterprise, you can't just go peruse their records. They are not open to the public.

What are they trying to hide? If their records are genuine, why are they kept from the public? Who holds them accountable?

Sounds suspicious. They're obviously just trying to make a quick buck off of other peoples achievements and are certainly not a reputable source. If they were, they would be open to the public.

It hasn't been mainstream or relevent since the Carter administration. Do some research. It is about as significant as the "name a star after yourself" publications.

BCA certified Mosconi's run as legit.
BCA certified Schmidt's run as legit.

Done deal. Congrats to the new record owner. Eventually it will be beat and it wont be by Dan Harryman.
 
I think if Dan submitted a record to Guinness he would be the first and only straight pool run sanctioned by Guinness.

Guinness publications have a greater circulation than the BCA newsletters.

So does People Magazine, Soap Opera Digest and Chicken Farmer Monthly. You are either unable to read or shucking and jiving in every response you post.

Guinness gets paid to certify their acknowledged "world records".

The Smithsonian would simply take the BCA's word for it. Should the BCA actually submit it to the Smithsonian, there probably is some fee associated there as well.

It's tough to keep the conspiracy theory going amid allegations of fraud when you don't even have a hint of evidence. You have to resort to responding to months-old posts as if they were just left.

You need to be more like Danny. Post what you want to say then delete it, real quick like, other wise you're digging your own grave and Danny will "see you in the funny papers."

No. Guinness would still do some fact checking and figure out that Danny's run did not surpass the current accepted record, even if Guinness did not certify it.

If Danny's run where somehow unique, I.e. standing on one leg, over a specific time span or the balls where set on fire, then maybe, just maybe, if you paid them money, they would print it. That's a lot of commas.

When Dan becomes the first Guinness Record Holder of a straight pool high run.

I will be one of the first to congratulate him, its an accomplishment no pool player has ever achieved in 14.1.

But then he threw chalk at Danny. His heart shrank three sizes that day. Now the terrible monster that Danny sees is all that stands before us.

They don't care to. Even if they did, I'm sure getting that into their museum is probably at the bottom of their to-do list. A museum display exhibits what they believe will draw in patrons. The fact that John Schmidt's high run alone isn't enough to draw a crowd is inconsequential to the validity of the run.

Mosconi's record is only part of a trove of memorabilia that was DONATED to the Smithsonian and all serve to help future generations remember the other worldly talents and accomplishments of a great cueist.

Danny keeps throwing aground the term " cancel culture". Nobody is trying to, nor could they, cancel Willie Mosconi. John Schmidt's record does not erase everything Mosconi ever did, it only surpasses one thing. The Smithsonian, upon hearing of the new record, is not going to throw out all of the Mosconi stuff because it is now meaningless.

I think the 526 is not Mosconi's greatest feat. His dominance of the sport and the absolute ease in which he plied his genius will carry on longer than 526 will.
