When I was a kid I loved the Los Angeles Dodgers. I used to listen to all their games on my little transistor radio, even hiding it under my pillow at night. I dreamed one day of being a professional ballplayer. On April 25, 1976, the year of our country's bicentennial, two nutbags decided to run on the field and burn an American flag. Fortunately, their plan was foiled by Rick Monday, center fielder for the visiting Chicago Cubs (and future Dodger). Read about it here. It's one of the 100 Classic Moments in the History of the Game as determined by the Baseball Hall of Fame.
