Christy Mathewson (A Post Dedicated To Christy Mathewson)

Who discovered the land
Of the brave and the free?
I don't know, I don't know
'Twas Christy Columbus
Is what they tell me
May be so, I don't know

There's only one Christy
That I know at all
One Christy that I ever saw
He's the one who discovered
The fade away ball
And he pitches for Muggsy McGraw

Baseball, baseball
Ain't it a wonderful game?
Old Christy Colum'
Found this country, by gum
But the extras don't
Carry his name

If old man Columbus
Had sat in the stand
Had seen Matty pitching that
"Fader" so grand
He'd have said
Boys I'm glad I discovered this land
Gee! it's a wonderful game

Does anyone have a complete version of his Big Six game?

One of the poignant moments in Ken Burns "Baseball" was when they discussed Matty's death- how he said to his wife on his deathbed something like "Have a good cry, but don't make it a long one. This couldn't be helped" (nicely read by John Chancellor).
