Examines Irvin's life and career, describing the obstacles he had to overcome.
Monte Irvin was a baseball pioneer. He was the Negro League owner's choice to be the first black player to enter the major league and break the color line, but his Army service held him back. Still, Irvin became one of the first African Americans to play major league baseball when he was signed with the Giants in 1949. Illustrations.
