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.

I still say it was the 1994 strike that killed baseball in Montreal. You would have won the World Series with that team.

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.
