I wasn't quite old enough to remember this happening, but Rick Monday is a hero. And thank God he wasn't a Dodger.

Change is good

Sad sad people that hate this country so much and yet they won't leave. If you hate this country so much then leave and don't come back.

Too bad there wasn't a good ass kicking for the would-be burners as well!

I thought Republicans were the party of law and order. Why wasn't he charged with theft?

Check out this version of the video. Nicely annotated with menus and the ability to move around inside.

Drat! I can't load it from the site. Any chance of getting that up on YouTube? :)

OMG, Rick Monday has just surpassed Cal Ripken Jr. as my favorite player all-time! This video was awesome. It's the first I ever heard of it, as far as I can remember, and I'm 50 years old. At first I was curious as to why I never saw it; then I realized, I was in basic training--USAF--when this happened, and on that date, we weren't yet allowed to watch much television. We were all too busy trying to stay out of the TI's way.
Anyway, great video. I'm gonna add this blog to my bookmarks; it seems to be a good one.
Rick Monday for president!!!

This is an awesome story, I cannot believe that I had never heard it before. I read an aticle by Tim Dahlberg /AP columnist today and started researching and found this site. Thanks for the video clip and related stories.

God Bless Rick Monday!
In this era of jerks like bonds,
it's nice to remember & celebrate
a baseball player of *real*
character like Rick Monday on
this Fourth of July, whose act
of patriotism will be long remembered after bonds' tainted
so-called 'records'....
God Bless America...

Rick Monday should run for an office.He seems more interested in the protection of our flag than our own congressmen.
Thank you Rick Monday. God Bless You1
