Matty image
This is one of my favorite Mathewson images (Pastime Novelty postcard) depicting Matty pitching game two of the 1913 World Series at Shibe Park (not Shibo). Mathewson faced Plank that day and in the top of the 10th, after nine shut-out innings by both pitchers, Matty singled in the first run of the game and scored the second, earning a 3-0 victory. It would be New York's only win of the series. Three days later Plank avenged his loss by pitching a masterful two-hitter to win game five (3-1) and clinch the pennant (in New York) for the A's. Enjoy.
Cheers, Mike
