Willie Mosconi Video from 1987!

Thanks for the links Fast Lenny.

While on the subject of Mosconi videos, does anyone know if there are videos available of mosconi playing a real game? (other than the Caras TV match) If so, any link to purchase them would be great. thanks

There's also a 125 point Caras/Mosconi match that was played at the Lake Shore Club of Chicago, from 1963, that aired on ABC Wide World of Sports, floating around. I don't know if there's also a copy of their match from 1962 anywhere.

Very interested also !

I am also interested in obtaining any footage on Mosconi playing real
competitions. Especially, when he was younger, and in his prime. I
believe he is and was the true master of straight pool. Lots to learn from him,
even if it is only footage. I would take it apart with a magnifying glass.
I did meet him in person in 1974. I was 14 years old.
 
Not only is it hard to believe there isn't a ton of old footage of his play, its also a damned shame and loss for our sport if there isn't.
 
Maybe someone can contact CBS and get some of the old footage but i doubt it,its probably rotting away as we speak.Good luck getting any of Mosconi before he went gray his hair did prematurely.;)
