Rick Monday Saves Old Glory

The Day Rick Monday Saved
"Old Glory"

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, April 25, 1976
"Chicago Cubs outfielder Rick Monday
raced to the men, dodged a thrown bottle of lighter fluid,
grabbed the flag and ran it to safety..." Joe Donatelli

"You know....I get letters on it weekly.
What's surprising is a great majority of them are from young people,
some of whom weren't even alive at the time....." Rick Monday
