Biography

"The Hustler & the Champ: Willie Mosconi,
Minnesota Fats, and the Rivalry That Defined Pool"


R. A. Dyer.   320 pages.   Indexed.   17 Photographs.   Pub. 2007.


Mosconi may have been remembered as one of the most dominant sports figures of all time, a man who had laid low some of the greatest players in history—but no one would pose a greater threat to his legacy than Minnesota Fats. In 1978, both men came together for what would become the most viewed pocket billiards match in American history.

Biography

"Hustler Days: Minnesota Fats, Wimpy Lassiter,
Jersey Red, and America's Great Age of Pool"


R. A. Dyer.   296 pages.   Indexed.   16 Photographs.   Pub. 2003.


Biographies of three of America's greatest pool hustlers. Some wonderful stories of their games against each other, but their lives also seem tinged with sadness. Makes the biographies of our English pro's look rather tame by comparison.
