Ok. I’m old. No. Not the fictional person. The real person. I’m sure some of you had to watch ABC when they showed Minnesota Fats and Willie Mosconi on television? There was a version later in 1978 with Howard Cosell announcing the match. I used to watch Wide World of Sports almost every week, just like going to church every Sunday. Minnesota Fats is also in the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame. He made a video, wrote a book about how to play pool. He was so popular that when we used to play pool, we used to joke about being Minnesota Fats when we were trash talk each other.
