Default Matty

I also have a Matty with a bit of writing. I have shown this here before, but it has been a while. On the back of my 1914 Cracker Jack Mathewson, the original owner wrote in pencil , "Best Fade Away Pitcher". I don't care for writing on cards just as much as most, but I do find this note very cool. As most know, Matty was well known for his Fade Away pitch which is now called a Screwball. He invented the pitch and I envision that the person who wrote it on the card must have seen him pitch to share his opinion on the card.
