Player Biography
Possibly the greatest high school athlete in New Jersey history, Monte Irvin was a five-tool baseball player who starred in the Negro leagues with the Newark Eagles and in the Mexican League before becoming a National League star. A pioneer in the integration of Major League Baseball, Irvin debuted with the New York Giants in 1949 at age 30. A clutch hitter who particularly excelled in World Series play, Roy Campanella once called the outfielder, “the best all-around player I ever saw.”
