An inside baseball memoir from the game’s first superstar, with a foreword by Chad Harbach Christy Mathewson was one of the most dominant pitchers ever to play baseball. Posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of the “Five Immortals,” he was an unstoppable force on the mound, winning at least twenty-two games for twelve straight seasons and pitching three complete-game shutouts in the 1905 World Series. Pitching in a Pinch, his witty and digestible book of baseball insights, stories, and wisdom, was first published over a hundred years ago and presents readers with Mathewson’s plainspoken perspective on the diamond of yore—on the players, the chances they took, the jinxes they believed in, and, most of all, their love of the game. Baseball fans will love to read first-hand accounts of the infamous Merkle’s Boner incident, Giants manager John McGraw, and the unstoppable Johnny Evers and to learn how much—and just how little—has really changed in a hundred years. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Pitching in a Pinch Or Baseball from the Inside is written by the great American pitcher Christopher "Christy" Mathewson who played seventeen seasons with the New York Giants. During his tenure, he ranked in the all-time top ten in major pitch categories including shut-outs, wins, and earned run average (ERA). His pitching skills are so incredible that he still is the only pitcher in MLB history to rank in the top ten for career wins and in career ERA. Based on that information alone, the reader can be assured that any book written by Mathewson on the topic of baseball will prove an excellent read! Players and fans know Mathewson as one of the best pitchers of all time, and now readers get to enjoy a first-hand glimpse into baseball greatness. Mathewson's autobiographical look into his own career in baseball provides a historic view of the beginnings of baseball as a major national pastime in the United States. This book also offers interesting tidbits on other players in the league that Mathewson encountered; both on his own team and on competing teams. The topics Mathewson explore range from "The Most Dangerous Batters I Have Met" to "Coaching – Good and Bad" and even "Jinxes and What They Mean to A Ball-Player." Pitching in a Pinch Or Baseball from the Inside is an entertaining autobiography from the great pitcher Christy Mathewson. With the detail of a clear expert in his field and all the feeling that America's favorite pastime evokes, this book promises to be an exciting look at the early days of both the sport of baseball and Mathews' career.
