This Day In Dodgers History: Rick Monday Saves Flag At Dodger Stadium; National League Attendance Record Set

April 25 is an important date in Los Angeles Dodgers history for events that occurred at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum and Dodger Stadium, some 18 years apart, and with one involving Rick Monday during his time as an opposing player.

After moving from Brooklyn before the 1958 season, the Dodgers played their home games at the Coliseum prior to settling into their Chavez Ravine home in 1962. And on April 25, 1968, the Dodgers earned a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in front of a record crowd.

With 60,635 fans in attendance, it set a National League record for the largest crowd to attend a regular-season night game.
