Matty's hometown- any members from the Scranton, PA area?
I am currently out of town on business in Scranton, PA. I noticed a few signs around with Christy Mathewson's picture noting that this area is his boyhood home. I just drove by the high school he attended (Keystone High- now Keystone College). There is also a highway in his memory - "Big Six memorial highway." I'm hoping to hit up some antique shops (I've found a few) and find some Matty stuff (yeah right). I'd also like to attend a Railriders minor league game if I have time. Anyway, I think it's really cool that they still memorialize a great pre-war player here, and I just wondered if anyone knows of any other baseball related activities or places I should visit. Thanks for reading - Marshall
