MISSOURI HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Lee Auditorium
St. Louis, Missouri
“MATTY” was performed on Sunday, April 10, 2005 at 1:00pm Main Auditorium at the Missouri Historical Society’s Missouri History Museum in St. Louis. The performance was originally scheduled to be presented in the in open area of the Museum’s Grand Hall in the Emerson Center but at the last second the Lee Auditorium was secured for the show and allowed for the full theatricality of the event!
Christy Mathewson had his greatest luck against the St. Louis ball club (24 consecutive victories!) and it was fun to visit the site where the Giants first met up with their 1911 mascot, Charley Faust.

Matty’s Day at The Oakland Museum of California
1000 Oak St
Oakland, CA 94607
A Giant visits Oakland
Whatever their other shortcomings, Giants fans are right to believe their team has an illustrious history. Take Christy “Big Six” Mathewson, the right-handed NY Giants pitcher (1900-1916) whose fadeaway curve helped him achieve 372 lifetime wins (for the Giants, 373 overall), including three shutout games in the 1905 World Series against the then Philadelphia A’s. Actor Eddie Frierson remembers Matty, too, and this Sunday (2-4:30 p.m.) at the Oakland Museum of California, Frierson impersonates him as part of the “Baseball as America” exhibition in his universally-acclaimed one man play, MATTY.
