Besides being a legend at pool, some of Mosconi’s other accomplishments included being an actor and technical adviser for the 1960 movie “The Hustler,” as well as a sportscaster and an instructional author. He has found a home with other great American sports legends, like the legendary baseball names of Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Joe DiMaggio, to name a few. Even after his death in 1993, the Mosconi name is still the most recognized name inside of the world of pool, and his legacy continues to live o­n with the American/European Super Bowl trophy of pool – The Mosconi Cup.

Richard Kranicki currently resides several South Philadelphia blocks from the birthplace of Willie Mosconi and is a longtime friend of Flora and Willie Mosconi. Besides being o­ne of this magazine’s instructional columnists, he is the o­nly author ever to receive the prestigious Mosconi endorsement for the specialized work in his unique pool instructional work, “Answers To A Pool Player’s Prayers.”

David Boorboor lives minutes away from the present Mosconi home in South Jersey.  His documentary projects have merited local and national television broadcasting. Mr. Boorboor’s short film “Familiar Stranger” has earned him the 2002 Atlantic City Film Festival’s top honor.

The legendary name of Willie Mosconi is, and will always be, perpetually synonymous with the game of billiards. Therefore, it is the hope of this documentary to help enhance the image of all the billiard games in a respectful and classy manner, while broadening their appeal to family audiences and players worldwide.        

The release date for the Mosconi documentary is targeted for sometime in 2004.  Serious sponsors that are interested in receiving the project proposal for this monumental memorial can call David Boorboor at (856) 265-3295.
