willie
i had the opportunity to observe willie for a solid boring week sometime in the 60s. he was brought to minneapolis by max winter, then one of the owners of the mpls. lakers. they set up a new gold crown in a television studio and he and chris macghean (spelling?) were to make a television pilot. i was selected to be the referee. 100 points of straight pool, with of course willie winning. (pre determined) after hitting balls every night, we then would go to breakfast - at that time I was a low leval pool hustler with stars in my eyes. willis stuck me EVERY night for the meal. My opinion of willie is this - talented CHEAP PRICK. in all of my travels i have never heard a GOOD word about willie mosconi only that he could play great pool under IDEAL conditions. HIS Personality = ZERO
