Monte Irvin passed away
I do not know any details but my son just e mailed me.
He lived a quality life and a good life. He was 96 years old. I was very fortunate to spend an entire day with him about 20 years ago in Florida. One of the best times I have ever had. He signed a lot of photos for me, all I which I kept. This one is my favorite. RIP Monte, you were one classy guy.

Sad to hear. I got to have an in depth conversation with him when I was in my teens. I was sliding for him at a show. Told me about checking in at hotels under a different name in the south. He was a great man.

What an interesting guy. I had him sign a Negro League bat I have been working on and he was kind enough to also sign it AKA Jimmy Nelson, a name he played under while attending college. He had a laugh telling me the story.
