Monte Irvin autograph on 3.5 x 5" photo AND H.O.F. Plaque Card

NOTE: This was purchased by me in the early 1970s.

Monford Merrill" Monte" Irvin(Born: Feb. 25, 1919 – Died Jan. 11, 2016) played with the Negro eague's Newark Eagles (1938–1942, 1946–1948), New York Giants (1949–1955) and Chicago Cubs (1956). His career was interrupted by military service from 1943 to 1945. When he joined the Giants, Irvin became one of the earliest African-American MLB players. He played in two World Series for the Giants. When future Hall of Famer Willie Mays joined the Giants in 1951, Irvin was asked to mentor him. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973. After his playing career, Irvin was a baseball scout and held an administrative role with the MLB commissioner's office.

Excellent condition! (estimated that this was signed by Irvin in the '70s)
