98 Years Ago Today Christy Mathewson Passed Away
Christy Mathewson Passed away on October 7th 1925 In Saranac Lake, New York. He had fought Tuberculosis and other lung issues for over 7 years. As a member of a chemical weapons unit with Ty Cobb in 1918 he was exposed to Mustard Gas. This in addition to contracting Influenza on the the ship to Europe caused his devastating lung condition. As my home is just outside of Matty's hometown of Factoryville, Pa. I've made collecting Matty items a large part of my collection. Show your Matty stuff!
