Picking back up where I left off for WSOP archives and they had commentators that did not play poker...Minnesota Fats! I am a bit confused but I am sure it explains in the Wiki. Minnesota fats was a fictional character from a novel and ...he used the name to go along with the fiction..? Who knows..who cares lol, what I think is interesting is you have a pool hustler talking about poker players lol. I love his quote. "I wanna hear someone that uses results, I don't wanna hear stories..you hear sad stories all the time, whoever wins this, HE is the best" lol

Which brings me to my main point I think, and that is in 1979 a lot of players had nicknames like this...It must of been a big fad. Here are the names
