Christy Mathewson - The Hammer as Best Pitcher All-Time

Dean Gordon · 02-19-2004, 04:30 PM

Check out Christy "The Hammer" Mathewson's all-time stats... just damn amazing, if you ask me....

Anyone else have a SP this dominant (1918 HOF electee, 9 Golden Arms, 19 POM, 458-157 record, 615 CG, 2.28 ERA, 5307 K)? As a caveat, the deadball era (1901-1919) was pitching heavy, but still, 9 Golden Arms (Cy Young equivalent) in 16 seasons is prety damn good all things considered...

Oh, listen to the wretch who sullied a great pitcher's career and name by trading him to the Cleveland Cesspools..... I say this now and will forever more - Ed "The Anvil" Reulbach deserved better......

And don't forget to tell them about "The Great Cobb Ripoff" when you traded an aging Hammer for a young Ty Cobb. Geez, where's an oversight board when you need one?

Anyone with a #1 pick because Dean has an overaged mediocre SP for you.

*cough* - aging Hammer? He was only 32 and coming off a 38-12, 1.91 ERA season... hardly decrepit...

Wasnt my fault he suffered a massive injury in New York playing for that taskmaster Cy Young... he should've had 5 or 6 more seasons of greatness and easily should have surpassed 500 victories, if it werent for Cy butchering his delivery, causing the eventual ruptured bicep tendon...

he really just didn't want to work for a Canadian owner...heh
