35 Years Ago [Yesterday], Rick Monday Made the Greatest Play in Baseball History By Saving the U.S. Flag

(Brobible) - Thirty-five years ago [yesterday], on April 25, 1976, the Chicago Cubs took the field to play the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. During the fourth inning with the Dodgers at bat, a 30-year-old Cubs outfielder named Rick Monday made the greatest play in baseball history, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the game of baseball.
