I’m currently finishing up this book. Great book. New York Fats was an amazing character. The stories are right out of Damon Runyon, in fact, when Fats was playing on Broadway in the 20s and 30s, Runyon would be in the poolrooms. And Babe Ruth, and Leo Durocher and Bing Crosby and on and on. It was a much bigger business and pass time than it is now. And Fats, apparently, was about the best there was. Who was THE best? Mosconi? Greenleaf? Lassiter? Who knows. Maybe Fats. At one-pocket anyway, he says he was. A good, fun read and a look into another, zany time.
