[DC 86]

Monte Irwin and Jeff Tesreau aren't in the Hall, neither is Chief Meyers...you may be thinking of Chief Bender, who is in the HoF.

Monte Irvin is most definitely in the Hall of Fame. A great Negro Leaguer who finally was allowed to play in MLB at age 30 and played eight seasons (seven with the Giants), receiving MVP votes in three of those seasons, including a third place finish in 1951 when he led the National League in RBI while hitting 312/415/514. He hit cleanup in the famous "Giants win the pennant" game; Bobby Thomson batted sixth that day and Willie Mays hit seventh.

He was voted into the HoF primarily for his Negro League accomplishments so perhaps doesn't qualify as a Giants Hall of Famer per se, but he was a great player. His #20 is retired and is visible up in the left field stands at Oracle Park between Carl Hubbell and Will Clark.
