Jean Balukas vs Eva Mataya _ Part 001

[@miketheyunggod2534]

You can see Jean as a 6 year old on " I Got A Secret".

[@TheHaratashi]

What a shame Jean quit at the height of her prime. I don't blame her for being upset at the requirements that women had to dress up - that is totally sexist discrimination. And they also came down hard on her for pretty benign comments at a match, but the sports world tolerated people like John McEnroe throwing fits and smashing tennis racquets all the time.

watch little Jean on "I've Got a Secret" in the 60s

[@drewkoenen8334]

Actually just watched her on I’ve got a secret,,,WOW 👍

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

Is there a full match video somewhere?

[@cliffpadilla6382]

I used to see Jean Balukas whenever I visited her family's pool spot in Brooklyn.

[@yungster66]

i've been looking for videos of eva mataya.thank u for the upload.

[@sgtjeff56]

I was always planning on going to her pool room in Brooklyn hoping to meet her but it closed before I got the chance. I do frequently go to Jennifer Baretta's room in Brooklyn though.

[@billysikes1374]

Balukas is the best ladies pool player EVER, no one even close to her, 9 Us Open titles, and beat Men pros too, know she beat Buddy Hall in a pro men's tournament

[@MrHatetheplayer]

best quality recording, with prestine audio as well

[@vinnie39]

Great comment, Karen

[@John-pp2jr]

3000 Dollar prize is abusive. Should be more.

[@lukaszha8826]

This may be a stupid question but in the first game how can Jean just skip the 2 ball and hit 3 in then come back for the 2-9 combo?

[@keithfreitas2983]

The 2 all dropped on the break. Announcer missed it.

[@lukaszha8826]

@@keithfreitas2983 Thank you! That was my suspicion too but the picture quality was not high enough for me to tell a 4 ball from 2.

[@faztclix]

thnx for the upload. Cant wait for the bluray! Just kidding :)

[@9Ballr]

What are you talking about? It's already blurry.

[@OnTheRailTV]

MORE MORE MORE! Thanks!

[@williamschlenger1518]

They should get $20,000.

[@charlie.something]

1989?

[@jaysilverheals4445]

has balukas ever been documented to have smiled?

[@FloridaRaider]

2 things that suck - prize money and table cloth speed..lack there of

[@joeygonzo]

Mali/Stephens cloth back then.

[@fredhugard7444]

I like the slow nap. Nice change of pace, literally.

[@A6Legit]

She said run it

[@A6Legit]

Hi Joe

[@Quatsch83]

At 7:30 looks like the table isn't level when the cue ball comes back down the rail towards the 6.

[@dougoverhoff7568]

The ball definitely rolled off.

[@2goodgrammas]

The "smart ass comentator" is a World Champion pocket billiards player, a school teacher and can spell "commentator" correctly. .

[@1950Grendel]

This is why I don't shoot pool in bars; put my quarters in and then sit for the rest of the game.

[@s3rgiow]
