How would Satchel have done? Shoot... he went 6-1 with a 2.48 ERA as a 42-year old rookie in 1948. That helped Cleveland win it's most recent World Championship!
Mr. Irvin mentored Willie Mays when Willie was a rookie in 1951. Irvin also led the NL in RBI and had a terrific World Series against the Yankees, including a theft of home.

Wow, I never heard Monte Irvin talk before, what a player he was. When was this interview?
This interview was in 2007. More of it will be posted soon to our page .. Thanks for watching
From all the stories it sounds like he was an even better flamethrower then Walter Johnson
GREAT story!!
What would a 25 yr old Paige have done pitching for the 50's and 60's Dodgers/Yanks/Cubs of those days?
He would have fucked them all up bad, dude was an animal
