	Christy Mathewson at AllExperts
		Christopher "Christy" Mathewson (August 12, 1880 – October 7, 1925) was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball.
		While Mathewson was highly intelligent and articulate, and as such a man might seem to gravitate to those of like background, perhaps one of his best friends was a seldom-used backup catcher named Frank Bowerman, a player well-known for his dull intellect and quick temper.
		Mathewson and his manager, John McGraw, were also very close, and for a long period of time the Mathewsons and McGraws even shared an apartment.

	Christy Mathewson
		More than Brown, Mathewson looked the part of the modern American hero - he was tall, blond, and blue-eyed - and his reputation for clean living and good sportsmanship was often held up as a splendid example for the nation's youth.
		Mathewson was an intelligent pitcher, had great control, and sound mechanics.
		Mathewson retired with 373 career wins (fourth all-time, after a recount gave him an additional win), 78 shutouts (third), and a 2.13 ERA (fifth).

	Memorable Moments - Moment 1 - Christy Mathewson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mathewson threw three shutouts in the 1905 World Series to lead the New York Giants to a five-game Series victory over the Philadelphia Athletics and was just as dominating as his feat would suggest.
		Mathewson allowed six hits and no walks and retired the final 10 batters he faced as the New York Giants clinched their first World Series championship -- and the only of Mathewson's career — with a 2-0 victory.
		Mathewson's three shutouts in a World Series is an achievement that has never been matched and because pitchers have become so specialized and rarely make three starts in the World Series nowadays -- much less throw three complete games or shutouts --Mathewson's feat is a postseason record that should stand forever.

		Mathewson's pitching was marked by intelligence, good mechanics, and outstanding control (he walked only 1.6 batters per nine innings), but he also had a magic pitch.
		Mathewson was only 14-17 in his second full season, but led the NL with eight shutouts and posted a fine 2.11 ERA.
		Mathewson's finest regular season was 1908, as he led the league in wins (37), ERA (1.43), strikeouts (259), and shutouts (12), but the Giants finished a game behind the Cubs.

	Christy Mathewson - Matty's Boyhood
		Mathewson has her own theory about Matty's success; but it may be a little biased by the fact that she had always intended her boy to be a preacher.
		Mathewson was called to another part of the house and I watched her as she went — tall, straight, strong — a pioneer fit to have founded a race.
		Mathewson was Matty's first coach in baseball, but she says that "Sonny," or Christy, Jr., must be content to have his father coach him, and make the best of it, for she is not as spry as she was some thirty years ago.

		Mathewson, though, was more than the sum of his stats.
