Christopher 'Christy' Mathewson was an American Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher, considered as one the most dominant pitchers of all time. He played 17 seasons with the New York Giants and was famous by the nicknames of Big Six, Matty, The Christian Gentleman and The Gentleman's Hurler. His career features 373 wins with a career ERA of 2.13 and a 0.97 ERA in 11 World Series starts and such impressive performances got him inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This American sports hero of the early 20th century was one of the most talented and admired pitchers in his era. At a time when baseball players were only associated with gambling, boozing and womanizing, he stood out with his smartness, clean-cut looks and demeanour and proved to the players that there was indeed an another way to live. He instilled in the game the values of sportsmanship, moral code and integrity, something largely amiss during those days. Throughout his career, he never pitched on Sundays owing to his Christian beliefs and in return gained a lot of praise and recognition from his Christian fans. Being an excellent athlete, he even played for his college's basketball and football teams. He had a brief unsuccessful stint as a manager with the Cincinnati Reds at the end of his career
