Hall of Famer MONTE IRVINMonte Irvin fashioned a career of excellence in both the Negro Leagues and the Major Leagues. One of the finest African-American players in the years preceding integration. A high-average hitter with some power who played for the Newark Eagles in a lineup that ncluded legends Willie Wells, Biz Mackey, and Mule Suttles. The well-spoken and dignified Irvin,88 crossed the color line in 1949 and was a key contributor to two New York Giants pennant-winners, hitting .458 in the 1951 World Series. Quote "Most of the black ballplayers thought Monte Irvin should have been the first black in the major leagues. Monte was our best young ballplayer at the time… He could hit that long ball, he had a great arm, he could field, he could run. Yes, he could do everything." — Cool Papa Bell (as per daughter Coonie Brooks)
