Seller's Description:
FELIX MAHONEY. FAIR. 8.75X5.25. 12 page advertising leaf, full page illustrations, slight water damage, previous owner stamp on front end paper, pages yellowing, covers warping, cover rubbed Christopher Mathewson (August 12, 1880 – October 7, 1925), nicknamed "Big Six", "The Christian Gentleman", "Matty", and "The Gentleman's Hurler", was a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher, who played 17 seasons with the New York Giants. He stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 195 pounds (88 kg). He was among the most dominant pitchers in baseball history, and ranks in the all-time top 10 in several key pitching categories, including wins, shutouts, and ERA. [1] In fact, he is the only professional pitcher in history to rank in the top 10 both in career wins and career ERA, if taking 19th-century pitchers' statistics into account. [2] Otherwise, both Mathewson and Walter Johnson would hold that distinction. [3] In 1936, Mathewson was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its first five members. _PAB_
