Mathews was the only Brave and the only big leaguer in history to play for the same franchise in three different cities: Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta.
Mathews spent his first two seasons in the minors, perfecting a swing that even baseball great Ty Cobb described as "perfect." In 1950 the Korean War forced Mathews to leave the minors and enlist in the navy.
In 1978 Eddie Mathews was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
As an adult, Mathews serves as a vessel of hope for those who wish to communicate with their loved ones in spirit.
The stories Mathews tells of his life and the people he has helped are heartwarming, humorous, and compelling-from the dead husband who stood by his wife's side during her second wedding to the brazen spirit who flashed Mathews to get her point across.
Mathews also provides answers to the questions he is most often asked about life in Heaven.
