Rick Monday



On this date in 1976, Cubs centerfielder Rick Monday rescues an American flag from two spectators who try to set it on fire in the outfield of Dodger Stadium.

"He got down on his knees and I could tell he wasn't throwing holy water on it. If he's going to burn a flag, he better do it in front of somebody who doesn't appreciate it."
