Greatest play in Cubs History or any teams history!

CHICAGO (CBS) — It has been called the greatest non-baseball play on a baseball field.

Forty years ago today, Cubs’ outfielder Rick Monday stopped two men from burning the American flag in Los Angeles.

As Monday recalled in an old video posted on You Tube marking the 30th anniversary, he was running toward the two men when the wind blew out the flame from the first match.

That gave him enough time to sweep in from behind at fetch the flag.

“You could smell the lighter fluid,” Monday said. “It was soaking wet.”

As the scoreboard displayed the message, “Rick Monday, You Made A Great Play,” the fans rose and sang, “God, Bless America.”

I wonder what happened to the two douchebags.

They are probably both tenured at Berkley

I was a Jose Cardenal fan....pretty sure he was in left field and I was "jealous" Jose wasn't the "hero" that day.

Cardenal, Jerry Morales, Rick Monday.....ahhh the days of mediocrity gone by.

Which current Cub outfielder do you think will have a career as good as Rick Monday?

Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up to The Hill
With Matthew, Tulsi, and Don

I think eventually Bryant will be converted to a full time outfielder and will have a better career. He has the ability to stay at 3rd, but with all the good infielders they have, I see him moving to the outfield full time. But my comment was made more about the team at that time, not Rick Monday.

I'm out.

97 wins last year and doing very well this year. The tanking was a necessary evil that has them positioned now for an extended period of dominance.
