Player Biography
“(Christy) Mathewson was the greatest pitcher who ever lived. He had knowledge, judgment, perfect control and form,” raved Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack. “Big Six” won 373 games in 17 seasons, almost entirely for the New York Giants. Using his famous fade-away pitch, Mathewson won at least 22 games for 12 straight years, winning at least 30 games four times. His lone championship in four World Series appearances came in 1905, when he tossed three shutouts in six days against the Philadelphia Athletics. Mathewson set the modern National League mark with 37 wins in 1908.
