Irving Crane pure respect to all of his opponents. Humility that is usually lacking in the game.

Got to play Crane in Rochester NY, 1964 at ridge billiards. Ran out first rack 150-47. Lost next two games. Forever in my heart and mind!

Both legends. I met Crane and his wife at a tournament years ago.

How is that 6 not a foul and Irving being a world champion had to know that he fouled?

He pushed it. Would be a foul now, think it was back then too

Crazy that nobody said anything about the foul on the 6 ball. Maybe the double-hit wasn't widely known about in the old days?

love the fact the wear a tux while playing. Just goes to show how the game has changed, at least by the way we dress when we play. Watch how precise they are when shooting

Genghis K If that was precise then the way we dress isn’t the only thing that’s changed...

They are playing on 5 and a half inch pockets. They would be average players now.

Whoami Foo Irving Crane holds the world record of 309 balls ran in straight pool on 5’ x 10’ tables...Mr Crane would go to the Rochester pool hall every day for lunch, he would set up a 14:1 break shot, run 100 balls without a miss then go back to work at Valley Cadillac. He would have no trouble shooting on any table but remember he was very old here, everyone breaks down with age, look at Efren Reyes he can’t play anymore and he is not even that old, his eyes are gone

Yeah, right. Just watch the shot on the 6 ball at 2:00. Flagrant.

That surprised me, I thought the old guard was very astute about those rules.

Line up all the greats of any period in their prime, my money's on Efren.
