Monte was a very influential member of the NY Giants in the 1950's. Willie Mays said that he was the best Left Fielder he ever saw. Pretty high praise, IMO.
I had forgotten that he finished his major league career with the Chicago Cubs.
Anyway, yesterday, January 11, 2016, this pioneer ball player entered the clubhouse in the sky at age 96. Condolences to family and friends.

He lived a long life and was underappreciated by to many!

RIP Monte!
