McGraw ranks Mathewson Wagner as greatest players of all time
John McGraw, after fifty years in baseball, names Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner as two unbeatable figures. He recalls Mathewson's unique fadeaway pitch and argues it resembled a lefty curve, saying pitchers since have failed to reproduce it. He also compares Babe Ruth to these legends and notes Ty Cobb's status.
