After Matty Was Gone; IndexWhen all-time pitching great Christy Mathewson died of tuberculosis in 1925 at the age of 45, it touched off a wave of national mourning that remains without precedent for an American athlete. The World Series was underway, and the game the day after Mathewson's death took on the trappings of a state funeral: officials slowly lowered the flag to half-mast, each ballplayer wore a black armband, and fans joined together in a chorus of ""Nearer My God to Thee."" Newspaper editorials recalled Mathewson's glorious career with the New York Giants, but also emphasized his unstinting good sportsmanship.Baseball playersUnited StatesBiographyBaseball players796.357092796.357092Robinson Ray1920-2017.1829390MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957919003321Matty4398912UNINA
