Fats vs. Mosconi: The Great Pool Shoot-Out
You read it about it The Hustler & The Champ. Here's the video proof of the most watched pool match in U.S. history. Picture and sound quality is pretty lousy, but it's the only copy out there that I have come across. You can read about the pool match in detail in my book (that's it there to the right). The famous televised pool match was put together by pool promoter Charles Ursitti and the guys from Wide World of Sports.

Was that a 5x10 table being used in the Fats/Mosconi "Great Pool Shoot-out"?
