An inside baseball memoir from the game’s first superstar, with a foreword by Chad Harbach Christy Mathewson was one of the most dominant pitchers ever to play baseball. Posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of the “Five Immortals,” he was an unstoppable force on the mound, winning at least twenty-two games for twelve straight seasons and pitching three complete-game shutouts in the 1905 World Series. Pitching in a Pinch, his witty and digestible book of baseball insights, stories, and wisdom, was first published over a hundred years ago and presents readers with Mathewson’s plainspoken perspective on the diamond of yore—on the players, the chances they took, the jinxes they believed in, and, most of all, their love of the game. Baseball fans will love to read first-hand accounts of the infamous Merkle’s Boner incident, Giants manager John McGraw, and the unstoppable Johnny Evers and to learn how much—and just how little—has really changed in a hundred years.

Seth Swirsky loves baseball -- and he loves writing letters to baseball players, both active and retired. For his second book, he has written to dozens of pitchers, catchers, and other ballplayers, asking them questions that center around pitching, batting, and key moments in their careers. He asks his correspondents to reveal critical details, from what kind of pitch they threw in a memorable World Series showdown, to what their game-day ritual is, to how they learned the rudiments of pitching -- many from their fathers -- when they were young. About one hundred of these exchanges are included in the book, which is printed in a two-color interior. The letters are reprinted in facsimile with the handwriting of each ballplayer in clear relief. Swirsky introduces each letter with a short bio of the player and a description of the question he asked each letter writer. The book also includes dozens of photographs that complement and amplify the letters.
