ABC's Wide World of Sports (Mosconi Vs. Fats)?
In 1978, ABC's Wide World of Sports aired a challenge match between Willie Mosconi and Minnesota Fats. Mosconi had heard enough out of Fats and wanted to show the world what real pool playing was all about. It was one of the highest rated sporting events of the year. I believe that only a few events achieved higher ratings, such as the Super Bowl, World Series, and the Ali Vs. Spinks bout. I know that ESPN Classic aired another match between Mosconi and Fats which took place a few years later ('82 I believe) in Charlie Ursitti's tournament. My question is whether anyone might know where I can find of copy of the '78 match. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
