"I played pool since I was big enough to lean over the table. Playing straight pool my best run is 2213 balls. It's not easy to run 2213 balls it take a huge a really huge amount of paying attention....." -the leong kid.

Sure does...since the world record is 526 balls...by Willie Mosconi (edit) My semi goof...Michael Eufemia is said to have pocketed 625...in front of witnesses, back in 1960. But it wasn't sanctioned tournament play, and questions exist about the veracity of the report. I'm impressed when I see anybody go past 50 in tournament play. Anybody making a run beyond 50 when playing straight pool on a 9' table? He's a damned good pool player!

Yep, this leong kid was a riot...

So, Leland? Have you had a chance to exercise your Meucci "patriot" stick? Do you still have it?
