It might be presumptuous to say that Irwin simply didn't take advantage of the opportunity. While the article only said that Irwin didn't "feel at his best" when he emerged from the army, it's entirely possible that he was traumatized by the war. Simply picking up his baseball life where he left off might not have been such an easy thing to do. So, rather than say Irwin failed to take advantage of an opportunity, I'll just say it was a matter of bad timing for him. Thanks for your comment!

But unfortunately he did not take advantage of the opportunity. Monte Irwin could very well be the man that we talk about. But unfortunately he did not take advantage of the opportunity.
