Christy Mathewson breaks a finger on Joe Delahanty drive

On July 20, 1909 – New York suffers two losses against the St Louis Cardinals. The first is a line drive in the 7th off the bat of Joe Delahanty that breaks a finger on the left hand of Christy Mathewson. Matty leaves the game and the Cards win, 4 – 3, in 11 innings. The Giants load the bases in the 11th with no outs but fail to score. Matty’s broken finger turns out to be “mashed.”
