Monte Irvin Injured photograph
Date1952 April 02
DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Monte Irvin after he was injured after a slide into third base. The partial newspaper article on the reverse (not shown) reads, "Giants' Irvin Breaks Ankle; May Be Lost for Season. The outfielder surrounded by teammates after injury in game with Indians at Denver yesterday...The New York Giants' hopes for another League pennant were severely jolted today when Monte Irvin, star left fielder and the club's leading slugger, suffered a compound fracture of the right ankle which will probably sideline him for the season. Irvin hurt on what proved a needless slide into third base in the second inning of a game in which the Cleveland Indians beat the Giants for the seventh successive time this spring, 5 to 0, was removed to Mercy Hospital. Official estimates on the probable length of his loss to the club were not immediately available..."
