#2 Baseball also made plans to honor Monday. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn awarded Monday with an official commendation, and the Cubs held their own "Rick Monday Day" at Wrigley Field. During the ceremony, Monday received the actual flag he had rescued from the protesters, thanks in part to the efforts of Dodgers vice president and general manager Al Campanis, who extracted the flag (legally, I might add) from the LAPD evidence room. Monday still has the flag today, displaying it in the den of his home in Vero Beach, Florida.

I remember this very well. Good background at the link
