The Greatest Play In Baseball – Rick Monday Saves U.S. Flag
On April 25, 1976, a most incredible moment in baseball history happened. Chicago Cubs outfielder Rick Monday made the ultimate saving catch when he snatched an United States flag from two protesters that were trying to set the flag on fire.
I wrote about this a couple years ago but recently a video story about the event came my way and I believe it is worth sharing.
I agree – wrong back then, and still wrong today. I’m sure these days the ACLU would’ve been all over him for something. Great play indeed!
This is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
