I think l love Fats more than any other player. Also, if you were old enough, during the late 60’s, you’d know he was bigger than Miz & Mosconi- and every player should thank him- he put pool tables in every basement with his own brand and everyone else’s. Pool would be 90% smaller without him.
Hi, I am Ray "Cool Cat" Martin's grandson. Would you happen to have footage from his 1994 BCA Hall of fame induction? We have been unable to find any footage. Any help is appreciated!
I was a kid in the 60s We all argued who was better Fats or Willie They called him a big mouth like Ali My uncles were pool sharks One worked as a 'collector' for awhile--if you know what I mean --Though I never knew it till long after I grew up Fats was pool Every bar or pool room his name was always heard Cigars cigarettes smokey venues & a mans world Thats how it was
*8:34** I WAS DRIVING DUESENBERGS WHEN THEY WAS PUTTIN AIR IN THEM OTHER GUYS SNEAKERS* *_PURE GOLD, HALL OF FAME GOLD, WILL NEVER HEAR ANOTHER POOL PLAYER (or almost anyone) SAY THEY WERE DRIVING DUESENBERGS, WHEN THEY WERE NEW CARS..._*
*WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON SPEAKING, TO INTRODUCE FATS? HE SAID HE WAS A CUEMAKER. ANYONE KNOW WHO THAT WAS?* *WE DONT HAVE ANYONE CLOSE TO FATS PERSONALITY... AS SOON AS SOMEONE TALKS, LIKE EARL OR SIGEL OR MIKA THEY GET BASHED*
Thank you for posting, I absolutely love to hear fats talk stuff especially while playing pool.

That was Paul Heubler. He was the president of the BCA at the time.
Minnesota led me to thousands of hundreds of thousands of dollars 💵❤ 💰💰🤑🤑🤑🤑 leaving with the cash 🤣
If Archie Bunker played pool...
Yes really😂😂😂
Best ever fat’s
". . . Yes, he's a fan of mine"?? Who was that doing the intro? Did he mean to say "Im a fan of him"?
I don't know him but I think he was a well known person in billiards back in the day. Film maker?
@@bob733333 : Maybe, or pres. of the org.
