Rick Monday and the U.S. flag

Check out this story as we commemmorate flag day. It appears that former Cub Rick Monday took part in some interesting heroics on the field one day in 1976. I have no memory of this event despite being old enough to follow baseball at the time.

The Baseball Hall of Fame recently named Monday's quick-thinking act as one of the 100 Classic Moments in the history of the game.
