Kawika... "You might say I'm a Matty fan"
Well David, that's like saying... "You might say the Bambino liked women and booze"
Although I only joined the board just over a month ago, I have followed it for a few years now and I must say that David's post is the single greatest display that I've seen... period. Wow ! Talk about jaw-dropping. Well done David. That is the reason I start these kind of threads. Man oh man. Alright, I'll follow that with a Matty photo by George Grantham Bain and a companion piece newspaper. MATTY_bain.jpgMATTY_bain2.jpg MATTYbainnewspaper.jpg

Early in my life, I used to dismiss Matty as just another pretty boy...years later after having read some biographies and listening to other collectors I have developed a better understanding and appreciation of him.
David, that Sporting Life Cabinet is a beaut. Since no one else has shown one (I don't believe)...here is my one and only Matty. I really love this card!!

large type Matty BBM premiums
The football stadium at Bucknell University in PA is named The Christy Mathewson stadium. If memory serves me correct, there is a memorial "plaque" of him on a pedestal as you enter the stadium.

Photo by Louis Van Oeyen.
Original vintage TYPE I photograph of Matty & Red Ames warming up during the 1911 Fall Classic. The only time the Giants wore these black uniforms.

I know we're on the memorabilia side...
...but I have to share this card in every Matty-related thread. (FWIW - I also named my second son Mathewson and we, of course, call him Matty.)

Jimmy -
According to Marc Okkonen, the Giants wore the black uniforms in the 1905 WS. http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.o...gif&Entryid=81
