I'm with Deeg. Monte Irvin.
By the time he got to the Cubs he was past done.

Uh-oh -- my "Sutcliffe" answer was for the question about the
last Cub pitcher to throw 10 CGs -- asked on April 29! I forgot
to load the last page of this thread. It was the right answer,
though!

LOL, Tuffy.
Were there a lot of gingers in the negro leagues?

Interesting footnote on Irvin (who is still alive), at least
according to wiki.... Branch Rickey approached Irvin in 1945,
more than a year and a half before signing Jackie Robinson.
Irvin had just gotten out of the service and declined because he
felt he was not ready to play in the majors after having been
away from the game while in the military.

Trivia Answer
Deeg is correct. Monte Irvin finished out his career with the
Cubs in 1956.
