CHRISTY MATHEWSON HAIKU
This haiku is in memory of the baseball pitcher, who, in the first decades of the 20th century, changed the way baseball was looked upon. A Hall of Fame pitcher and winner of 373 games, Christy Mathewson (1880-1925), unlike most ballplayers, never drank, never smoked, and never pitched a game on Sunday. He was the best thing that ever happened to baseball before Babe Ruth.

a true Christian gentleman
