First off, Happy Birthday to Monte Irvin who turns 89 on Monday,
February 25TH! Now my question, my dad passed 5 years ago and he loved Irvin and saw him play at the PG's often. My dad always referred to Irvin as "The Orange Cutie". My assumption being that the orange was the team color and maybe he smiled often. Anyway, I know of nobody else who would refer to Irvin by this nickname. I tried to call into WFAN this past Sunday but couldn't get in contact with Irvin. Was that my dad's nickname for Irvin or could that have been his "official" nickname?
In advance, THANKS!-GMONEY
