Happy Birthday, Rick Monday! You swung for the fences 241 times in your MLB career—clearly Mondays aren't always so bad. Your legendary rescue of the American flag from protesters at Dodger Stadium remains one of baseball's most patriotic and unforgettable moments.Here's hoping your birthday is filled with more hits than misses, fewer curveballs (unless they're cake-shaped), and plenty of laughs as timeless as that iconic play. Thanks for proving once again that sometimes a Monday can be everyone's favorite day after all. Keep swinging strong into another fantastic year ahead—you've definitely earned extra innings on this celebration!
