Matty: An Evening With Christy Mathewson (2025 Revival Edition)

By Eddie Frierson

Updated for a 2025 New York revival production of MATTY, this publication commemorates the 100th anniversary of Christy Mathewson's passing at Saranac Lake, NY, on October 7, 1925. This universally-acclaimed one person play, written and performed by Eddie Frierson, is based on the life and writings of Baseball Hall of Fame and New York Giants Pitching legend Christy Mathewson. In a time when Giants walked the earth and roamed the Polo Grounds, none was more honored than than the great Christy Mathewson -- the quiet, educated man who lifted the then rowdy world of baseball into gentlemanliness. A scholar, athlete and soldier, Mathewson was the man who changed the game of baseball into our National Pastime and he was a major influence in the course of our nation for the first decade of the twentieth century. MATTY was produced by Black Bags Three Productions and performed by Eddie Frierson in Times Square at the Lambs Theatre in 1996. It was directed by Kerrigan Mahan. Costumes by Suzan Kay Frierson. Eddie Frierson continues to perform the show around the country and now MATTY is available in electronic and print form for fans, scholars and book readers alike.
