Ralph Greenleaf Highlight Reel - Billiard Legend Player

[notphilivey]

He was one of the all time greats. Mosconi ran 40 balls on him when he was 7 years old!

[damwer]

when they play? which yeah?

[roo7227]

I knew Jack "Jersey Red" Breit pretty well, and he swore up and down Greenleaf would rob Mosconi.. But the Raider and Mosconi weren't exactly close..

[TheWillsmith13]

love the end part

[cuetable]

That would be Willie Mosconi. You can do a search on pool.bz

[Aniva66]

who was the most USA legend of straight pool ever been?

[ToothyGus]

Why does the referee have to announce it so loudly?

[rentatrip1]

@ToothyGus - because this is the Olden Days & recording equipment was anchient then - in those days they did not have micro-processors & digitally enhanced pre-amps to boost the sound levels- what do you think?

[Fenomenoe9]

LOL this guy is funny reminds me of hitler :P

[rentatrip1]

@Fenomenoe9 you are funny you remind me of Nepoleon Dynamite's older brother - LOL

[Fenomenoe9]

@rentatrip1 -.- ...

[bird80]

Lol. If this vid bores you and you're going to leave...skip to the end. It's worth it, lol.

[BMWLDRider]

Wow.....took the Masse shot on an open table!!!!

[NipkowDisk]

Cool clip, thank you for posting it!

That table which Mr. Greenleaf is performing the majority of his shots on looks like an old 5 X 10-footer, definitely a rarity today!

[notbestfriends]

@NipkowDisk

I think you're right.

I've played on 10 footers. More difficult for me and when I returned to a 9' the shots seemed easier.

[pistolpeeroy]

@NipkowDisk ARE THEY 12 X 6 FOOT TODAY???

[pcdoctorjosh]

The last clip is the funniest thing I ever seen in pool.

[shark0505]

I met a guy who used to travel with Ralph. He confirmed that Ralph would make double wing shots. For those who dont know what that is...he'd roll two balls down the table and make them both with one shot while the two balls are still moving. I've never seen anyone from this era do that.

[greenManilishi]

The old timers say that this guy used to shoot combination wing shots.

[unvmygame]

Ralph was the most gifted 14.1 player ever. Alcohol or not - nobody wanted any. Hal Houle, his former road partner who is still alive, tells stories about Ralph saying he would sometimes go a week without a miss.

[jskeen23]

we was what lol

[LeonFleisherFan]

9:08 is sooo funny, ROTFL!!

[BillyJackets]

This guy probably made more money than any other American pool player, he played Willie Mosconi in an exhibition when Willie was about 7 years old and Greenleaf said one day this kid will be champion

[SantaTherealbeared]

We was my great grand father!

[pistolpeeroy]

@SantaTherealbeared NO HE WERNT

[44032]

The misses show that there is nothing automatic about these shots. This guy's the greatest player ever, or so they say.

[aardvaark069]

pretty zippy masse at 3:35

[JohnPizzaPan]

ROFL @ 9:14

[quakers101]

perhaps the greatest player of all time alcohol consumption ruined another life.

[Deathugee]

rosie you racist tart

[Deathugee]

what the hell happened at the end?

[Deathugee]

great vid, that shouting guy would feck me off though.

[ahemoc]

Great video. And now we know where Mosconi got all his trick shots.

[5ballcharlie]

maybe the greatest player of all time

[victor2k]

good vid!
