About this listen

The updated script for 2025 Off-Broadway revival production to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Christy Mathewson's passing on October 7, 1925.

This universally acclaimed one person play written by Eddie Frierson is based on the life and writings of Baseball Hall of Fame and New York Giants Pitching legend Christy Mathewson. In a time when Giants walked the earth and roamed the Polo Grounds, none was more honored than than the great Christy Mathewson -- the quiet, educated man who lifted the then rowdy world of baseball into gentlemanliness. A scholar, athlete and soldier, Mathewson was the man who changed the game of baseball and the course of our nation in the first decade of the last century.

Matty was produced by Black Bags Three Productions and performed by Eddie Frierson in Times Square at the Lambs Theatre in 1996. It was directed by Kerrigan Mahan. Costumes by Suzan Kay Frierson. Eddie Frierson continues to perform the show around the country and now Matty is available for the first time to fans, scholars and book lovers alike. Publication of this updated edition commemorates the 100th anniversary of Matty's passing on October 7, 1925.

This audiobook also includes the recording of the original 1996 production as well as audio of press, interviews and reviews for the listener to compare and enjoy the evolution of Matty through the decades with a historical perspective. Enjoy!
