I am not familiar with that picture. :(

What is the story behind that baseball player with the flag?

The two jerks crouching were trying to burn it in the outfield during a game to protest the Viet Nam war.

Monday's act heroic after 30 years

Rick Monday was playing right field when two anti-war (vietnam) protesters jumped onto the field to light the flag on fire. Rick ran between them and “stole” their flag. He still has it to this day.
