30 years ago today something wonderful happened. Rick Monday, outfielder for the Cubs, ruined a couple of hippies’ protest on a baseball field. The two hippies had run out on the field with an American flag and some lighter fluid. Monday ran and swiped the flag from the hippies so they could not burn it.
Monday’s comments on the incident include this gem: “What they were doing was wrong then, in 1976. In my mind, it’s wrong now, in 2006.” Rick Monday, you’re a wonderful American.
There’s a great article about the event, with lots of comments from Rick Monday here.
I saw Rick Monday in Vero Beach this spring, but unfortunately I didn’t recognize him until he was gone. I’ll be looking for him next year though. Anybody know where I can get a Rick Monday autographed baseball?
