This past weekend, Monte Irvin's #20 was retired by the San Francisco Giants. Originally a Negro League star, Irvin joined the New York Giants in 1948, and stayed there through 1955. His final season in '56 was spent with the Cubs.

Re: Irvin honored

Congrats Monte.

He deserves it I met him on many occasions and he is a nice guy.

Unfortunately his health is detoriating.
