Some Old Minnesota Fats Photos

Fats was the ultimate entertainer. Maybe that's what we need , a little or a lot of personality. Nothing like a story told by Fats
 
Thanks for the pics! Fats has always been a favorite of mine-watching he and Mosconi in the 70s on Wide World of Sports brought pool into our living rooms- and it was great to see these shots from the 60s. I know he wasn't the best player who ever lived, but he was a better player than many on here think, and he seems to have made some dough and a comfortable life in pool. By all accounts, he had as much fun as anyone. I honestly think that 100 years from now you could ask random people who the greatest pool player ever was, and you'll get 'Minnesota Fats' a lot.
