The One and only one, The Deacon in the field of pool games. With the real name of Irving Crane, this 1978 BCA Hall of Fame inductee was known to master the safeties all by himself. One can’t really forget his flawless run of 150 and out against The Meatman or Joe Balsis in 1966. Crane both possessed patience and aggressiveness as he was also addressed as a refined gentleman and a fine role model. In terms of technicalities, Crane maintained his class level performance as he manifested excellence in the game. For the record, Crane seven major world tournaments or title matches as well as named champion during four different decades. Crane who came from Livonia in New York and died in 2001 had a very stunning achievement to run 300 balls on a 5 by 10 table just like Mosconi and Ralph Greenleaf. Don’t you want to be as elegant as him as he showed great imagination in his play?
