Happy Flag Day, Rick Monday
One day late, I guess...Is Flag Day on a Sunday or are we observing today?
YouTube - The Greatest Play In Baseball - Rick Monday Saves U.S. Flag https://www.beckett.com/images/pgitems/200510101.jpg God Bless Rick Monday! Joe in Missouri PS Nice Hat! |
It makes you cry ... again.
Bud Furillo was a local L.A. sportswriting and sportscasting legend. During his run at the old Los Angeles Herald Examiner, on the wall of his office, Bud proudly displayed a huge 4' x 5' print of that Pulitzer-nominated photo of Monday running away with the flag, which, of course was photographed by a Herald photographer: James Rourke. It made you shiver just looking at it, as it does now. http://www.danzfamily.com/archives/b...ick-monday.jpg |

Based on decades of listening to Tommy's legendary rants, it probably went something like this: "What the f--- do you two worthless, little pieces of s--- think you're doing? That's the American flag you're f------ with, God damnit! You know why you two little c---------s are free to live your worthless, chicken s--- little lives?!? Because brave young men died to protect what that flag stands for, you worthless, cowardly little co--------s! I can not f------ believe that there are two more cowardly little co--------s than you two. Get these chicken s--- little c---------- off this field before I kick their f------ a$$es!"

From the original linked video:
"Tommy yelled about every expletive a longshoreman knows" or something to that effect. |
But what does Tommy think of Dave Kingman? :D

Sorry, but if it is their right (burning the American Flag) to have freedom of expression, then I express my right to freedom of expression and send these idiots to hell! |

I concur, homicide is a little over the line, but I think it would be within my right (and maybe my responsibility) to put out that fire with a firehose from 10-15 feet away.

I have a new hero in Rick Monday.
And Lasorda's stock just increased, in my mind, exponentially (that means "a lot" for any coaches who might read this). |
