On April 25, 1976, Rick Monday was playing center field for the Chicago Cubs in a game at Dodger Stadium when two protesters, William Thomas and his 11-year-old son, ran onto the field and attempted to set fire to an American flag.
They laid the American flag on the field and doused it with lighter fluid.
However, before they were able to get a match lit, Monday ran over and took the flag away and carried it off the field. Thomas and his son were arrested and taken from the stadium.

I remember this well despite only being a teenager. I also seem to recall that when Monday next came up to the plate, he got quite the standing O from the LA crowd. Sadly, I suspect it would be different today.
