DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Monte Irvin polishing the window on a liquor store he owns with Willie Mays. The image caption on the reverse (not shown) reads, "Polishing Up. Brooklyn, N.Y.: Slugging outfielder Monte Irvin puts a high gloss on the store front window of the liquor shop he operates in partnership with New York Giant teammate Willie Mays.
