RIP. I didn't realize he was still alive. I remember as a kid meeting him at a baseball card show in Dallas in the '80s and how he was very friendly to everyone.

(By the way Gracecollector, his last name has no "e" at the end.)

Always glad to see the Giants treated him so well and gave him a WS ring after the 14 win

(By the way Gracecollector, his last name has no "e" at the end.) It's spelled like Michael Irvin, not Irvine, California.

Thanks - saw the typo after I hit enter.

96, he lived a long life. RIP Monte.

FYI, his nickname was Mr. Murder- http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/i/irvinmo01.shtml wouldn't have that nickname nowadays.....

Sad to see another HOFer pass away, but he definitely lived a full life

His was the first autograph I ever pulled from a pack of cards. Hit it in from a loose box of 1997 Topps Stars at a card shop near Cooperstown that same year. Good memories. RIP.
