The JOBC Contest

In honor of the 35th anniversary of Rick Monday's heroic saving of the flag (see below), this week's JOBC contest is about the hero himself. The Cubs acquired Rick Monday from the Oakland A's in November of 1971. Who did they trade to Oakland to get him?

The first person that e-mails me the correct answer at rick@justonebadcentury.com will win a commemorative Greg Maddux 3000th strikeout scorecard, plus a t-shirt from the Just One Bad Century catalog.



UPDATE: We have a winner! Congratulations to Grace Ross who e-mailed me the answer to today's contest question. The person the Cubs traded to Oakland to acquire Rick Monday was Kenny Holtzman. We'll have another contest next Monday. Be sure to check back for your chance to win.
