from Bison Books
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Eric Rolfe Greenberg's The Celebrant gives us not only a fictional account of the career of Christy Mathewson, the great New York Giants pitcher of the early 1900s, but also a revealing look into hero-worship, all through the eyes and voice of a young jeweler who designs rings to celebrate Christy's... more info

from Grove Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Frank Deford takes you there. This book is definitely about baseball and it's evolution around the turn of the century, but it also sits you down in the early 1900's. Historical descriptions of the Manhattan of the day are fascinating. You feel as though you're reading the headlines of the day one... more info

4.[no image]Pitching in a Pinch: Or, Baseball from the Inside
from Stein & Day Pub

Customer Review:
What an amazing read. It makes you realize that not much has changed since Mathewson once ruled the roost on the pitching mound. The things he say, the wisdom of experience he imparts sounds so fresh, so immediately relevant to the game as it is played today that it might as well have been written... more info

from McFarland & Company
Price: $32.00

Customer Review:
I recently purchased a few modern biographies of baseball players, and this was the best of the lot by a wide margin. It's not the most exciting biography I've ever read, but it covers Mathewson's career without a lot of extraneous personal life fluff or other modern biography madness. Short, easy,... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.99

Customer Review:
It is a historical anomaly that at the end of the nineteenth century the violent game of football was a sport for the privileged gentleman yet baseball was the game of the uneducated, profane and in essence the masses. Football was confined to the college campuses, which at that time, meant it was... more info

9.Christy Mathewson: A Game-by-Game Profile of a Legendary PitcherChristy Mathewson: A Game-by-Game Profile of a Legendary Pitcher
from McFarland
Price: $35.00

Customer Review:
I liked this book pretty much. It tells a lot about Matty's baseball career and opens a window into the National League from 1900-15. It doesn't tell very much about Mathewson's personal life though. All in all its worth a read if you like baseball history and/or Christy Mathewson.
