JackThanks for a great post.
I've been thinking for awhile now, after reading The Old Ballgame and The Player, that a movie needs to be made about Matty and the Giants. It would be a bit of a tragedy, some bits about the death of his brothers, his role in the Chemical Warfare division, and ultimately his untimely death. But it would capture all the great stories about those NY teams from 1905 through 1913, with wonderful side stories about Charles Victory Faust, Mathewons' checkers fetish, John McGraw in general, the Merkle Boner, etc.
Billy Crystal got *61 done. Maybe he should know that this needs to be made too...anyone have any pull?
