About This Item
NY: Oxford University Press, 1998. 1st Edition. Hardcover_cloth spine. Fine-Collectible/Fine. 6.25"x9.5" 236 indexed pgs. First printing. White boards. Navy cloth spine w/white letters. A/F paper. Jacket design by Jeff Faville. Spine slanted, sewn binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Not x-library, unclipped (price), & unmarked. Secure ship w/track #. When all-time pitching great Christy Mathewson died of tuberculosis in 1925 at the age of 45, it touched off a wave of national mourning that remains without precedent for an American athlete. The World Series was underway, and the game the day after Mathewson's death took on the trappings of
a state funeral: officials slowly lowered the flag to half-mast, each ballplayer wore a black armband, and fans joined together in a chorus of "Nearer My God to Thee." Newspaper editorials recalled Mathewson's glorious career with the New York Giants, but also emphasized his unstinting good
sportsmanship and voluntary service in World War I. Source: Publisher.
