Mind you, he broke my 11 year old heart in October 1981 with that home run against the Montreal Expos (with Steve Rogers on the mound)that won the NL pennant for the Dodgers, lol.

Monday had the attributes to be a Hall of Famer but suffered numerous horrible injuries (ran into a brick wall and wrecked his back, tore an Achilles' tendon, etc.). He was also stuck on the Cubs for a while.

Outside of his world class performance in the first half of '78 (until he tore the tendon) when he was the top vote-getter for the All Star game and that clutch hit against the Expos, he didn't have as many great moments as his rookie ability would have suggested. He was the first player drafted in the first baseball draft. Don't hold a clutch hit off a great pitcher against him.

I meant that for a joke, certainly I would not hold that or have anything personal against him. What’s kind of funny as well is that after Montreal moved to DC to become the Nationals, I began cheering for the Chicago Cubs and soon afterward was Steve Bartman catching the foul ball.
