Walter beats out Mathewson, but it's not exactly a mauling. Walter had a longer career so is pretty far ahead of him in counting stats. Gets much closer when you compare 7 year primes. Walter still edges him.

If you really need a tiebreaker, "The Big Train" was the superior hitter. It was an outlier, but Johnson hit an incredible .433 in 107 plate appearances during the 1925 season.

Christy wasn't completely useless at bat (for a pitcher), but Walter was much better.

How about Walter Johnson as a play-by-play announcer for the Washington Senators vs the Cleveland Indians, last game of the season in 1939 on radio station WJSV.

With all due respect to the great Matty, I think this guy is probably the GOAT.
