Rick Monday
A Real American Hero
31 years ago, Rick Monday, the center fielder for the Chicago Cubs (and veteran of the US Marine Corps), saw two individuals come onto the field during a game versus the LA Dodgers. Monday saw them lay Old Glory on the ground and then douse it with lighter fluid. They kept lighting matches, but the wind kept blowing them out. Monday decided to take matters into his own hands and save our flag.
Job well done, Marine.
I love that guy!
ReplyDeleteI hope they beat the crap out of those commie turd burglars...or am I being judgemental?
ReplyDeleteMy apologies in advance for posting off topic.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog, Vir Speluncae Catholicus. Thanks to SOVII for calling my attention to you.
Faithfulness ...reason ...fidelity ...wit ...humor ...attitude ...your blog has it all. This is one of the best blogs I have come across in quite some time. Great job!
I don't understand. I saw him pick up the flag but the a** kicking was so fast I missed it...?
ReplyDeleteDemaistre,
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy!!

Carlton,
I don't think that Mondat actually kicked off any any particular ass. I think that VSO was just wishing that a seriou ass-whoopin' took place.
I knew there was a reason I liked the Cubs (in addition to being a masochist).
ReplyDeleteYes I was, and it would've been justified.
ReplyDeletePater,
ReplyDeleteAfter the spankin' the Little Bears just gave my beloved Padres, there ain't a lotta love in my heart for the Cubbies right now!! *evil grin*
