As "Fats", he was perhaps the most publicly recognized pool player in the United States, in spite of the fact that he never won a major pool tournament. He was inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame for his decades-long public promotion of pool. Wanderone began playing pool at a young age in New York City and became a traveling pool hustler as a teenager. In his 30s, he moved to southern Illinois, where he met and married his first wife, Evelyn. During World War II, he hustled servicemen in Norfolk, Virginia. With the end of the war, Wanderone returned to Illinois and entered semi-retirement. Wanderone adopted the nickname "Minnesota Fats" from a character in the 1961 film The Hustler (and the novel it was based on), claiming that the character was based on him. He parlayed the association with the film into book deals and television appearances, including a series of matches with rival Willie Mosconi. Later in life Wanderone divorced Evelyn and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he married his second wife, Theresa. He lived with her until his death in 1996. Pay with PAYPAL-you can charge it!
