Player Biography
A feared left-handed slugger, Eddie Mathews became the seventh player in major league history to hit 500 home runs, finishing his career with 512. He walloped over 30 round-trippers in nine consecutive seasons. In 1953, his 47 homers for the Milwaukee Braves led the National League and established a single-season record for third basemen that lasted 27 years. Ty Cobb once said, “I’ve known three or four perfect swings in my time. This boy’s got one of them.” Mathews was a member of two World Series championship teams (1957 and 1968) and was featured on the cover of the inaugural issue of Sports Illustrated in August 1954.
