    Christy Mathewson has been my favorite baseball player ever since I read a biography of him when I was a teenager. I love that you have a picture of him on flickr.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Athletes, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    I don't know why someone tagged this Ebbetts Field. From the date on the photo, this would be from the homestand being played by the Giants at the Polo Grounds against Brooklyn. Mathewson started the May 4th, 1914 game. www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1914/VNY101914.htm

    Art Siegel This is Ebbets Field, the dates on the photographic glass negatives do not necessarily correspond to the date the photos were actually taken. Compare the fence along the 3rd base side field level seats, the dugout (and the unique cutout at its bottom), and the open area behind the first deck of seats, to other photos of Ebbets Field in the Bain photostream, among others, and you will see that this is the recently opened Ebbets Field.

    Aha, I see that. Must have been from an earlier Giants-Dodgers game in Brooklyn.

    Amazing to see the differences in the styles between then and now, but the game remains the same...

    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.)
