A good read for anyone who enjoys billiards and is interested in the history of these great players.Lots of stories about lots of champions.Does not show Minnesota Fats in a very good light nor Willie Mosconi as a person who would be fun to be around.Book is a bit redundant, sometimes repeating anecdotes as if the chapters were written individually and then put together.Nonetheless, a good book to read.

Upon completing this book, I can say I found it very informative along with being a great story. I have read the autobiographies of both Willie and Minnesota Fats and this book had numerous facts about the two I was unaware of. The book begins by explaining how there televised match originated, then goes on to chronicle the history and careers of both men. I don't think you can say Fats really had a "career" as much as a life spent hustling and gambling. Willie sure had one with all the World Championships and his lifetime spent doing exhibitions all over the country. Keep in mind that the book has much more history on Willie than Fats. The book then tells of their televised match. This part was excellent reading as he told of Fats "starting in" on Willie before the pool match even began. I read this part twice and had to laugh at the things he said and pictured him saying them on T.V. (CLASSIC FATS). The book talks about a few other meetings between the two as well as a little on their lives after pool. I thought it was kind of sad how both ended up.If I had one negative thing to say, it was maybe a little dry during the middle chapters.What I liked most was what the author gives us to think about at the end. Even though Willie absolutely detested Fats, Fats did a lot for pools popularity and Willie's. I believe the book claimed their original televised match had a 30 % share. That's incredible when you think about it. Willie had the records and championships but Fats was like the original one man show. Like Minnesota Fats said to Willie Mosconi...."You gotta have fans".

Ask anyone who the best pool player of all time was, and they may say Minnesota Fats. That's an amazing thing, because he was not the greatest pool player of all time, and the book/movie the Hustler were NOT based on him. Instead, he borrowed the name after the fact. WIllie Mosconi should be on people's short list as one the the greatest pool players of all time, but few know who he is. Such is the nature of people's lack of knowledge of pool history, and the effectiveness of Minnesota Fats' con.This book covers these facts in detail, and covers the rivalry between Minnesota Fats and WIllie Mosconi. It all leads up to the two players contending against each other on ABC's wide world of sports.Both RA Dyer books I have read were a bit dry, but informative. This book was more interesting than the other, though. I suggest anyone wanting to understand either of these players read this book. This information is covered in other places, but in piecemeal fashion.If pool/billiards history is not your thing, I suggest more entertaining books such as 'Playing off the Rail' (non fiction), or 'Stroke' (fiction)

Willie Mosconi only spoke to me one time . He said, " Move over or the cue will hit you when I draw back " . I was about 9 years old at the time and was standing behind the incredible man because I had been placed there by a promotion host for Brunswick brand pool tables . My view would otherwise have been blocked by grown men who were by then standing on chairs to see Mosconi's trick shot exhibition . Mosconi asked if anyone had a clean handkerchief for use in a trick shot and a man hand him an ornate expensive white one . Humorously, Mosconi held the handkerchief aside and once again asked if anybody had a " CLEAN handkerchief " . The owner of the item insisted it was clean and Mosconi covered about 6 balls with it . He proceeded to fire a cue ball into the cluster which caused another ball to pop out and roll into a pocket . In that whole live demonstration, Willie Mosconi never missed a shot . As a child, I found it hard to reconcile the high class and skill of Mosconi with the image of pool players as con artists, punks and low-lifes . He tried to elevate pool to a sport of gentlemen and he failed . When my brother played pinball machines at a local bowling alley, he was harassed by " greasers " or " hoods " who played pool on nearby tables . That was sad reality . The barbaric breaking of the fictional Eddie Felson's thumbs in the 1961 movie " The Hustler " horrified me as a child . I was impressed though, when I learned that Willie Mosconi did the wild pool shots for the movie . In a sport known for gambling, hustling, sharking, gimmicked tables, drinking, fighting, foul language and robberies, one man stands out as an example of the finest gentlman, greatest in skill, the best in morals, the example for all other pool players to follow . Mosconi . This book is a great treatment of the man and a fun read .

It's an interesting book, especially when Dyer is relating about their (Masconi & Fats) earlier days and the rise to prominence. What I found really annoying (hence, the three star rating) was a lot of the footnote numbers referred me to Dyer's other book, "Hustler Days". About half way through, I started thinking that, perhaps I should have bought it instead.

Great read for anyone that loves the game of pool.
