A significant amount of Negro league game box scores is lost to antiquity and thus the available stats are sketchy with large gaps in data, often excluding entire seasons. Monte also played in MLB for eight years (1949-1956) achieving a life time batting average of .296 with 99 hr's and a .477 slugginig percentage.

Note: many MLB HoF members have more than one ‘rookie’ card and/or more than one ‘last active’ card. In those instances, I’ve randomly selected a single example of each.
