Mathewson pronunciation? (and book recommendation)

[bbcard1]

A little off topic, but Kinsella's Box Socials is funny, sweet and an excellent read

Did you read "Iowa Baseball Confederacy"? I thought it was even better than "Field of Dreams".

I also think the correct pronunciation is Math'-yew-son

La-zha-way was at the 1939 induction, and you can hear him announced and then hear him talk on the Centenial CD i posted above. The announcer also says Math-eh-son, i believe, even though i always say Math-u-son, which is what I call my son of the same name (when I'm not calling him Matty).
