2nd in shutouts, tied with Mathewson for 3rd in wins (273), 23 year career, very high in innings pitched (5th or 9th, I forget)-- a great work horse through part of his career. HOF 1938 (I thought they skipped from '36 to '39. Oh well...) ERA mid 2.00's (Matty's was 2.13! WOW. People talk about he he only won all those games because he played for a great team...). As for Joe's joke (? He's always making Latinos of us all!), my vague memory is that he was a white boy to the tips of his toes, physically and spiritually...but no evidence offered by me for attitude. Or ethnicity, for that matter!

Hullo, Matt. Nice to meet you!
