This program from a September 30th, 1921 game between the New York Giants and Boston Braves held at the Polo Grounds in New York centers on the legendary ballplayer Christy Mathewson. The front cover features a handsomely uniformed Mathewson standing on the grass. Inside are a collection of testimonials regarding Mathewson, many exalting his playing ability as well as his gentlemanly stature. There is also poetry and images inside, along with Mathewson's career statistics. The back of the program is an image of Mathewson in full military attire. Has a center crease, but is otherwise in NRMT condition. An amazing piece of baseball history.
