Good Biography Book on Mathewson
 
I’m looking to read a good book on Mathewson’s life. Would anyone here have any recommendations?

Thanks,
Sammy

I enjoyed The Old Ball Game: How John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, and the New York Giants Created Modern Baseball

A two-in-one special as you cannot really tell the story of one without the other.

I am sure there are more focused end-to-end biographies on Mathewson alone, of which I am also interested.

I enjoyed “The Player” by Philip Seib.

Not a super long book, but a good read

For a fun fictional take on Mathewson, “The Celebrant” was another really good read as well
