    Christopher "Christy" Mathewson (August 12, 1880 – October 7, 1925), nicknamed "Big Six", "The Christian Gentleman", or "Matty", was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played in what is known as the dead-ball era; and in 1936 was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christy_Mathewson
  • In Memoriam: budderflyman said:
    What I think is amazing is that he won 373 games in just 17 seasons, still tied for the most lifetimes wins in the NL with Grover Alexander. During WWI, he was accidentally gassed with mustard gas and damaged his lungs, leaving him open to TB. He never was the same after that.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Though the date on the negative is February, 1914, there was of course no baseball being played then. Based on this photo titled "World Series" it is likely from the preceding October's World Series in New York:
    Polo Grounds - World Series (LOC)

    The 1914 notation should be changed as a result.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    artolog, Thanks for your comment. I agree this photo is likely from the previous World Series, based on the other photo you linked. We can make a note to that effect, but will retain the date of the negative as well, since that offers information about the use of the photograph. Mathewson was in the news in February and March of 1914 as he was deciding between continuing with New York or taking a job with the Federal League.

    1912 was Jeff Tesreau's rookie year with the New York Giants (NL). In the regular season, he picthed 36 games (starting 28 and completing 19) and led the league with a 1.96 ERA. He started 3 games (going 1-2) in the 1912 World Series against Boston. Boston won the series in 8 games. Yes, 8 games! Game 2, played in Boston, was called because of darkness. Tesreau was on a squad that included Christy Mathewson and Rube Marquard.
