This should be commemorated every April 25th at EVERY baseball stadium! :)

This is one of the best jobs I have ever seen and heard by a student journalist or documentarian. Congratulations.

Two of my sisters were in the stands that day at Dodgers Stadium. They could not remember which team won or what the final score was but both of them remembered Rick Monday’s historic play. And like the clip shows everyone gave him a standing ovation.

What were those two protesting about?

My memory is a little bit foggy but I think that the news at the time said something about how they were protesting the fact that the government of the USA took land away from Mexico or something. For people who don’t live in the state of California they might not know that before the gold rush of 1849 California was a part of Mexico.

Rick Monday should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame for that alone, if not for anything else.

I remember as a kid in Oakland at a certain time of the season I would notice Rick Monday was not with the team . He was serving in the military . I was surprised when he was traded to the Cubs , but Ken Holtzman was worth it ! ( rest in peace )

found this after donating to the UNC boys that protected the flag in Chapel Hill. They referenced Rick Monday on their the supporters gofund me page. I didn't even know about this patriot.

I happen to live in Los Angeles California and two of my sisters were at that very game. My memory is not to clear but I think at the time the local news had reported they were protesting the fact that the government of the USA had taken land away from Mexico. For people who don’t live in California they might not know that before the gold rush of 1849 California as well as some other states in the south west used to be a part of Mexico. I was just a child at the time and normally I did not watch the news, but when my sisters returned home from that game and said what had happened I watched the news with my family. I just remember that the reason given for the protest was something that occurred before even any of my grandparents were born and was considered ridiculous by my father.
