This day in baseball: Monday saves the U.S. flag
April 25, 2026
On April 25, 1976, in a moment that remains iconic to this day, Cubs center fielder Rick Monday rescued the American flag from two protestors who tried to set it on fire in the outfield at Dodger Stadium. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Monday dashed over and seized the flag from the pair while the crowd cheered. Monday ran through the outfield with the flag and, while walking towards the Dodgers dugout, he handed the flag over to Dodgers pitcher Doug Rau. When Monday came to bat in the top half of the fifth inning, he received a standing ovation and the scoreboard flashed the message, “Rick Monday… You Made A Great Play…”

This song is definitely more of a love song than a baseball song, but the baseball scenes in the video are enjoyable all the same. And, I admit, the song itself is pretty good, too.

Legal replies to stupid letters
March 8, 2026
I came across this gem on Instagram regarding Cleveland Stadium, former home of the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Browns, and it is just too good not to pass on. I definitely need to keep this response in the back of my mind for future inspiration.
The caption: “In 1974, the legal department of the Cleveland Browns sent this letter in response to a complaint from attorney Dale Cox (a season ticket holder), who had objected to fans throwing paper airplanes during games.
In his letter, Cox warned the team, ‘I will hold the club responsible for any injury sustained by any person in my party attending one of your sporting events.'”
