Early life
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Frantone and Mamie Incardona. Billy first picked up a cue stick at the age of 12, playing on a wooden mini table using a checker disk as the cue ball. Due to age restrictions, he was not allowed to remain in billiard parlors, but developed his game by sneaking in and playing unnoticed. In 1972, he was considered one of the top 9-Ball players in the country.[2]
Professional career
In Detroit, Michigan during the 1970s, Incardona frequented the Capital Cue Club when games of stake were plentiful. He would often show up at pool tournaments and match up brilliantly, taking home the cash.[3]
In 2005, he was selected to be one of the 150 members of the International Pool Tour at its genesis, without qualifying.
