RIP Monte! Strangely I just picked up a Berk Ross card of his the other day and was just looking at it. He will be missed!

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.

Many years ago I picked up the Ron Lewis print titled "Tribute to Leon Day". It pictured, and was signed by 20 living former Negro League players. Irvin was the last living player from that 1996 print.
