John Thorn, the official historian of Major League Baseball, gives a review of a book I quite enjoyed, Christy Mathewson's Pitching in a Pinch. Matty didn't actually write it (it was ghostwritten by John Wheeler), but the historical accounts, and the very language used in the first decade of the Twentieth Century makes for a fascinating read.
