Thanks for the suggestion. I'm reading it (
Pitching In A Pitch) now. It's mainly (at least so far) about Matthewson's experience playing for John McGraw's New York Giants in the dead-ball era. Matthewson had the third highest number of wins in MLB, and he was playing for arguably the best manager in MLB history. Matthewson wrote it at the peak of his career. It's very readable for a jock book (Matthewson graduated from Bucknell before going into pro baseball).
