In 2000 The US Postal Service honored Christy Mathewson with this commemorative stamp as part of the Classic Collections: Legends of Baseball issue. The Legends of Baseball issue honored 20 baseball greats who were named to the "All-Century Team," announced after the 1999 season. Votes from fans, as well as members of a special panel, selected the team.
"These players embody the glory and tradition of our national past-time. Tales of their extraordinary abilities and larger-than-life personalities have made them much more than just ballplayers: THEY ARE LEGENDS.
“In 1901, 21-year-old Christy Mathewson won 20 games for the New York Giants. With his ‘fade-away’ pitch, he posted three consecutive 30-victory seasons and in the 1905 World Series threw three shutouts in only six days.” – From the back of the sheet of stamps.
First Day of Issue ceremonies were held July 6, 2000, in Atlanta, Georgia, where Major League Baseball held the 2000 All Star Week and 2000 All Star Game. (Scott 3408c). (A matching 20¢ US Postal Card (Scott UX339) was also issued at the same time.)
