For those of you old enough to remember, April 25, 1976 was the day that Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs saved an American Flag from being burned on the outfield at Dodger Stadium.
For those not old enough, perhaps you were fortunate enough to recall one of Monday’s historical recollections during one of his broadcasts on AM 570 radio.
Monday’s big league accolades were many. He played 19 seasons in the majors, was named to two All-Star squads, appeared in the World Series two times and was a member of the Dodgers’ 1981 World Series championship team.
