SOM PROJECT - CHRISTY MATHEWSON

This blog will follow the season of the 1905 New York Giants and specificially Christy Mathewson to see if he can duplicate his 31-9, 1.28 numbers.

The season will be replicated using the Strat-O-Matic PC game and made up of 30 teams from SOM's "42 Oldtimers Teams" disk featuring such greats as the '27 Yanks, '34 Tigers, '62 Giants, '57 Braves, etc.

Facing tougher competition will add to the challenge of replicating a 30 win season for Mathewson, but that is why we roll the dice.

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Billy Gilbert robbed Jerry Coleman of a base hit.

Art Devlin had 3 base hits and 3 RBI as the NY (AL) 1905 Giants topped the
N.Y. (AL) 1950 Yankees by a score of 5 to 2 at the ballpark.

NY (AL) 1905 came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning with 3 runs
using 5 hits. Frank Bowerman led off and he slapped a base-hit. Roger
Bresnahan stepped up next and he grounded into a double play. Billy Gilbert
then lined a single. Dan McGann stepped in and he delivered a single, and an
error was also committed. Devlin stepped into the box and hit a single
driving home two runs. Sammy Strang kept the rally going and tripled scoring
the final run of the inning. Christy Mathewson was perfect in relief and got
the save, his 2nd.

runs. Whitey Ford(2-2) took the loss in relief. He surrendered 4 hits and no
