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.

46,225 fans watched an exciting game at the ballpark. The St.L. (AL) 1922
Browns topped the NY (AL) 1905 Giants by the slimmest of margins, 3 to
2.

Both teams were tied at 2 runs apiece after nine innings. St.L. (AL) 1922 won
it in the 11th inning. Ken Williams laced a one-base hit. After an out was
recorded, Pat Collins stepped up to the plate and he ripped a base-knock.
Christy Mathewson then let a pitch get away from him scoring the run. NY
(AL) 1905 went down without a fight in the bottom of the 11th.

Hub Pruett(5-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 3 innings and allowing no
runs. Mathewson(9-4) ended up with the loss in relief.
