What a long life well lived....he transcended a lot of shit he shouldn't have had to, and achieved greatness.

 

Wonder if Geddy has a signed Monte Irvin ball in his collection? Hard to believe he wouldn't...

Willie Mays on his mentor...let THAT soak in for a minute...

 

Today is a sad, sad day for me. I lost someone I cared about and admired very, very much; someone who was like a second father to me. Monte was a kind of guy that you had to be around to get to know. But once you became friends, he always had your back. You had a friend for life. Monte Irvin was a great left fielder. Monte Irvin was a great man. I will miss him. There are no words for how I feel today. I could say so much more about Monte, but this is not so easy to do right now.”
