Both pitchers are legendary, but who was the true king of the pitcher's mound?
Poll Question:
Who is better, Greg Maddux or Christy Mathewson?

Christy Mathewson: 1900-1916

*Christy Mathewson's career was cut short due to tuberculosis, otherwise he most likely would have reached 400 wins, which only two pitchers have done
