If you know baseball, you remember - if you are middle-aged - Rick Monday saving the flag from the hippie shi*s. This is fun and cool. It is also genius on the Dodger marketing team.

Speaking of baseball:

HU’s on first; that’s genius...love it!
We should put it on a t-shirt before NPR puts it in their high-brow catalog.

Nice pic of the bobblehead at the link. But I’ve always wondered: Why did it fall to a member of the opposing team to stop the hippies from burning the flag? Didn’t the Dodgers have security back then?

Thanks for changing the title so that you could interject the word crap into it, it really classes up the joint, kinda makes it like DU thread titles.

Yeah, thanks. No idea what DU is. Please en-lighten.

Too bad they won't have the people who actually tried to burn the flag there so everyone could “pay their respects”.

Rats!! And I can’t go tonight. I’ve been able to collect several of the bobble heads over the past two years — that’s a GREAT ONE! I also missed the Vin Scully bobble head : (

Thank you, moderator...your approach was certainly nicer and educational instead of slapping a fellow conservative - not what we need to be doing here to beat the left.

Welcome.

Monday was part of the “Iron Curtain Infield.” So many years they ruled the baseball world as Giant (and Yankee) killers.

Dodger fans will appreciate how great it was that our own National Treasure Vin Scully was made the call.

If I was back in L.A. (forced out by liberal stupidity 2 years ago), I would go to the game just to get this souvenir!

[lacrew]

Hilarious.

The greatest save in baseball history.

April 25, 1976. The two perps, William Thomas and his 11-year-old son were arrested and charged with trespassing.

Most stadiums have a policy of chasing the trespassers rather than tackling them, unless they try to commit some kind of felony. Then they will arrest.

Incidentally the flag burners were acquitted of charges.

Incidentally the flag burners were acquitted of charges.

If it happened in 2013, the baseball player would be arrested and charged. Probably convicted, to boot.

After a half decade here I would have thought that you would have heard about democratic underground by now, they love cussing over there.
