Monte Irvin on one of his visits to my house in 2004, I showed him many photos, cards, posters, etc., which he autographed. When I showed him this photo with Thompson and Pearson, he stayed for a while thinking or remembering, then he smiled and told me: now I remember, we had some beers and we had a very pleasant time talking about baseball, then he signed it for me, he told me that he had never seen that photo.
