Mosconi high run?
- Thread starter Ak Guy
- Start date
I believe it was a Brunswick ( his employer - he was doing cross country exhibitions ) and I also think the pockets were 5". Do a search on AZ, there are countless threads giving every imaginable detail to the high run and why no one he broken it .
Please don't start this thread. Check search there are probably a few hundred threads over the years.
I agree. Johnnyt
It is 526 and a 8ft table. Pocket size was probably normal 5 inch for that time period.
There have been higher runs noted but none have been certified with credible witnesses.
This run happened to be at an exhibition and had many people watching.

hey ak! What about the b? Lol
AK Guy - what those guys were saying wasn't meant as a jab at you. It's just that few of those who have contributed before are not likely to do it again because there are other, very long and kind of interesting threads on this exact topic. You will learn a lot more by searching those discussions than continuing this one. Also, if you post a follow up comment in one of those long discussions it will become current and others who might be interested will also see it.

Good post, Dan and all that was needed to be said instead of making the OP feel like he had committed a sin! I'm with you AK ... jeeze!
I read somewhere that there were 6 pockets :thumbup:
Were you present at the exhibition? I'm pretty sure it was a 4 1/2 by 9. The run was disputed, 527 or 528. Dan Gartner (young Greenleaf)was present. He told me he missed around 350 and someone pushed the ball in and he kept going. Of course it's second hand info, but I knew Danny pretty well and he wasn't much for BS.
It was an 8 foot table according to his old sparring partner, Wayne Norcross.
First time I heard about the miss at 350'sh.
You are zero for two.
It was a Brunswick 4 x 8 and he didn't miss till 527.
I don't know Mr Gartner from a hill of beans, but I would bet my house
He wasn't in Springfield in 1954.

The first time Chuck Norris ever played pool he ran 525 balls and stopped in respect for Mosconi's record.
Think about it. For that to be true, then the 50 people that signed an affidavit that he didn't miss, and that it was a 4 x 8 table, all lied together for no apparent reason. Which one do you think is most likely to be the truth?
