🚨 MLB HISTORY 🚨
50 years ago today, Rick Monday made one of the most iconic plays off the field. 🇺🇸
On this day in 1976, the Chicago Cubs outfielder and U.S. Marine Corps Reserve veteran rescued an American flag from protesters attempting to burn it at Dodger Stadium.
Now, that very flag is headed to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown as part of America’s 250th celebration 🇺🇸
Monday will also be honored during Induction Weekend on July 25.
“If that’s all you’re ever remembered for, that’s not a bad thing at all.”
