When Sports Illustrated recently named Christy Mathewson the greatest right-handed pitcher in the history of baseball, it was a choice woven by both prowess and character. In the early twentieth century, Mathewson was the nation's first All-American hero, a man of Christianity arousing the values of millions while bringing dignity to a game that had previously been reserved for ruffians. Christy Mathewson, the Christian Gentleman takes a close and personal look at an extraordinary life and soul of a gifted man in a unique time. | Christy Mathewson The Christian Gentleman by Bob Gaines, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
