It’s Chicago Cubs outfielder Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs, who snatched an American flag at the Dodger Stadium Outfield in Los Angeles, on April 25, 1976 –in order to prevent the punks from burning it.

In honor of the 30th anniversary of Monday’s act, the Los Angeles Dodgers will recognize him on Sunday, April 23 with a video tribute. He’ll also throw out the first ceremonial pitch. The The Washington Post has a nice write-up.
