Mordecai Brown did one of the rarest things in baseball, he had a winning record against Christy Mathewson. The two legends faced each other often with Brown winning 13 of their 25 head to head matchups. Having lost one finger and permanently damaging another in a farm accident as a young boy he had a unique curveball that frustrated hitters. His last game would have been something to witness as he took the mound against another guy who was pitching the last game of his own career, you guessed it, Christy Mathewson.
