You wanna play some with me, better buy ur round trip ticket to be sure u can get back where u started from. I will lighten ur $$$load.
I wouldn't make the trip blindly. I'd hate to drive over to play you and just find an angry old man, sobbing into his beer, as he rambles on about great games he imagines that he used to play, and complaining about these young whippersnappers who run 626 balls.

Post a video to show you can actually sink three balls in a row.

Reminds one of js62how many is it now?
Incorrect. Please see earlier posts in this thread regarding proof and how you may view it.

But of course you already stated you wouldn't view it, given the opportunity, any way...so there is only your bitter outlook left.

Sorry, I wash my hands in a sink. I just shoot balls straight into the center of billiards pockets. Nothing strange about that.
Ha! Ha! You're still day dreaming.

The more you talk, the more certain i am that you don't really play. You're a talker - complaining about the other players, telling stories about that time when you were 19 and never missed a shot. I know that back then "you could have been a contender, and not just a bum".

But it wasn't real back then. It isn't real now.

Just a talker.

Yep...just a second account thru a proxy.

Thinks he's triple slick but he is just hilarious.

I think we're confusing Danny Harriman with his mini-me Xradarx.

I know Danny can play, but mini-me seems to only talk.
Not confusing them.

Take a deep state look at the clues- writing style, semantics, passions.

Pssst, it’s a secret so don’t pass it on.

Danny account has blocked me, but his xNutbagx account will come after me for spillin’ the beans.

i did notice that both Danny and Xradarx demonstrate the same emotional maturity of a 12 year old. I first thought it was a 12 year old let loose on his parents computer, but the 12-year olds I used to know quickly got bored with inane writing and moved on.

I also noticed that they both have the same writing style, grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and nonsensical phraseology.

I think it may be a multiple-personality thing. When Danny sees John Schmidt getting all those accolades, he gets so wound up that he can't talk without spitting. Then Xradar takes over his brain and body, and does the spitting for him. But Xradar can't keep straight which of the two personalities was a straight pool player, and which personality is just the talker.

I will pay for your flight and hotel to play him. No joke :) But, you must beat him like a rug ;)

I guess you missed the entire baseball steroid thingy? Or, the fact, that every professional baseball field in existence is of different dimensions. Or that the wind, weather (cold or hot) and altitude affect baseballs. Nothing is perfect. And for the record, most of the guys working for the baseball HOF are NOT baseball players, and quite possibly some of them never played the game.

And your right, folks hold their records "dear". Pool is a fringe sport played by folks that love the game. How much time, money and effort should go into documenting a record to satisfy everyone, when almost nobody even knows that pool is a sport ? Heck, even some pool players call it a game and not a sport.

Again, we can argue till the cows come home, it's not going to change a thing. It just is not. I'm sure there are still a few pissed off fans of Gehrig's when Cal broke the record. There were some conspiracies too. One night, the stadium lights went out, and folks believed that Cal could not play and it was done intentionally to help Cal break the record. The reason he could not play was so outrageous, it was either real or complete bull shit.

Some said he only played the first few innings of a couple of games, over the course of 14 years, because he was too beat up to play the entire game and would start the game but quickly come out.

They argued too, I remember it still. The record still stands and always will. MLB spoke and it was official. The BCA is the best we have in this fringe sport. I'm sure folks argue over Badminton all the time about records too ;) lol

Well, I think bringing up the baseball steroid thing in relation to JS' run is bit over the top but then again, maybe not.

I will agree with you that the argument is futile. Regrettably though there are some that just cannot abide the fact that some folks have reasonable doubts and leave it alone.

I did find an old record list. It doesn't have all of John Schmidt's 400+ runs.

Interesting that Earl, Thorsten, are all up in that bracket, and if this list were updated today, there would undoubtedly be a lot more.

It doesn't have the 351 claimed by Danny Harriman, and i'm sure there are others.

So even ignoring the records set back 70 years ago, John Schmidt is apparently the most prominent American straight pool player as advertised.

My personal opinion is that JS' record, whether you believe in it or not, will fall in due course.

I hope so. I see more people interested in straight pool these days.

I'd like to see more tournaments with a straight pool challenge at least.

On that old list i was surprised at some of the names that were there, and also surprised by some names that weren't.

If Schmidt's 626 gets enough notice, it might encourage some Philippinos to give it a try. With just a camera running, some of those great players over there could likely put together some great runs.

I’m going to watch the 626 tonight in Chicagoland. There’s also another showing this weekend.

if you can get to Darian, IL by 7pm tonight, come and say hello.
Fred, we’ll be looking forward to your observations on here after witnessing the run hopefully in its entirety!

DH shamed u into admission without charge. No evidence of that either. Take that pool shitter from allegary AB and keep harassing 12 years old children. They’re more likely to accept the harassment. I’m not. None of u can beat a rug, much less have a chance to beat moi.
Accusing me of harassing 12 year old children?

You still parade around only the JS626 threads mouthing off unlike someone from the generation you claim to be born of—-

please keep showing your low class, trashy, character.

come back, Uno
