Monte Irvin Sliding photograph

Dateprobably 1950

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Monte Irvin, dressed in a New York Giants uniform, sliding into second base. The image caption on the reverse (not shown) reads, \Knew Only One Way. Monte Irvin has had a brief major league career. But he quickly established himself as a fearless base runner-a factor that led to his crack-up yesterday. Here he's shown slamming into second base in typical form against the Yanks last fall.\ Based on the newspaper stamp on the back of the photograph, this image was probably taken in 1950.
