Saving the US flag - Greatest play in baseball - do you remember it?

I was young - 6 years old and just becoming a baseball fan. I remember seeing it on the news. Now that I'm older, I agree, it was a most spectacular play. A couple of years ago, the Dodgers commemorated Rick Monday and this play with a bobblehead doll. Rick Monday, in mid-sprint with Old Glory secure in his righthand. I purchased one off of Ebay and it sits proudly on a shelf in my den.

No, it wasn't before my time, but I did not see this play first hand. What an awesome play it was!

My father, God rest his soul was a fan of the Big Reds Machine, in the Cincy glory days in the 1980s. He talked about this event. Thank you for bringing back a fantastic memory of me and my old man!
