Re: Greatest Play Ever in Major League Baseball

It was a very noble thing he did with that flag. Didn't watch the video as I am on dial up and don't have that kind of time. Still talked about every year. When I saw the topic I immediately thought of Willie Mays. 5 tool player and a great guy.

Monday is now one of the Dodger anouncers. Lasorda's full of baloney, I like him, but it would've taken him a week to waddle out there from 3rd . . . :D <br /><br />Thanks jtex, great link.

Good video..... Thank you JT.<br /><br /> I echo Link's response I was also stationed in Germany at the time. Sadly the Stars and Stripes had a small (tiny) sports section to read.... and we were only interested in the picture of a woman (usually in a small bikini) in Soldiers magazine. <br /><br />Hey Link how's that for a flashback!<br /><br />8th ID 74-76

Seem like I saw that on the news when it happened but sadly have forgotten about it. Thanks for the post.

Re: Greatest Play Ever in Major League Baseball

Looks like Monday was violating those two patriots freedom of speech rights. I hope they sued him for the civil rights violation. It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair. <br /><br />Power to the people!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />On the level, I love the fact he is honored to be remembered for this act over any other in his 19 year career. What a class act. I agree LaSorta sounds like Jesse Jackson must have looked like at the MLK assassination, spashin MLK blood on himself. Hey Tommy, Monday made the play, get over yourself.
