PSA CardFacts:Edwin Lee “Eddie” Mathews (October 13, 1931 - February 18, 2001) was the first athlete to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated and was the only man to play for the Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves. During his 17-year career with the Braves (Boston -1952, Milwaukee - 1953-1965, Atlanta – 1966), the Houston Astros (1967) and the Detroit Tigers (1967-1968), Mathews crushed 512 home runs including two seasons as National League leader in round-trippers. Mathews possessed natural power, including a strong and accurate arm, as well as a durable frame that rarely kept him out of the Braves lineup. Ty Cobb once referred to Mathews swing as one of “three or four perfect swings of my time.” Mathews was a 12-time All-Star selection, a three-time pennant winner and twice was a World Series champion with the 1957 Braves and 1968 Tigers. Eddie Mathews retired from baseball with 512 home runs, 2,315 hits, 1,509 runs, 1,453 RBI and a career .271 batting average. Edwin Lee Mathews was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978.
