The exceptionally athletic Monte Irvin was an outfielder who started in the Negro leagues and eventually became one of the earliest black Major League Baseball players after joining the New York Giants in 1949. He played in two World Series with the Giants and after retiring worked as a baseball scout and served in an administrative role in the MLB commissioner's office. Readers will learn that as a mentor to Willie Mays, Irvin helped pave the way for other black players in the major leagues despite encountering racism on and off the field, and he was honored greatly later in life for his achievements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hallie Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978510586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978510586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Enslow Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Hallie Murray","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48486605390079,"sku":"9781978510586","price":38.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1dffe566-ef6a-4061-9c5b-a660f5ba27b4.jpg?v=1778056032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monte-irvin-hallie-murray-9781978510586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
