In case you needed to know Monford "Monte" Merrill Irvin played for the New York Giants from 1949 to 1955. He was born in Colombia, Alabama, February 25, 1919. He now lives on the west coast of Florida. His lifetime batting average was .293 & played in a total of 764 games, mostly in the outfield. How I remember all this useless information is beyond me! By the way, he is one sweet guy!!
