SLAP-DOWN OF THE DAY: I saw them go and put the match down to the flag. It's soaked in lighter fluid at this time. Well, they can't light it if they don't have it. So I just scooped it up... my first thought was, 'Is this on fire?' Well, fortunately, it was not. I continue to run. One of the men threw the can of lighter fluid at me. We found out he was not a prospect. He did not have a good arm. — Rick Monday, former Chicago Cubs centerfielder, who saved an American flag from being burned by anarchists on April 25, 1976
