Dawson HOF As Cub, Expo etc ???

[Sixtofan]

I hope he goes in as an Expo as that is how I will always picture him. Goofy red white and blue cap is the image in my mind

Bumping an old thread.


HOF goes against Dawson's wishes and says his plaque will wear an Expo cap. He had asked to go in as a Cub.

I agree with all of the posters who think he should be going in as an Expo.This is how I always picture him-not in a Cubs uniform(no offense to Cubs fans intended).I guess Montreal left him bitter??

I'm a Cubs fan and would liked to have seen it, but it's not a big deal to me.

What I think must be awful is to be remembered in a way that is different than what you'd prefer...

But then again, I suppose he's just happy to be there!

I like the Expos choice myself but I thought the player had the final word on what uniform he enters the HOF in.

I'm a bit ignorant on the matter. Have there been other cases a player requested to go in for one team and the HOF said no, we're putting you in with somebody else?

[JasonL]

Gary Carter wanted to go in as an Expo, did he?

must be odd to be enshrined as a great for a team that no longer exists

(i think) the hall decides what uniform the player would be in, as a result of wade boggs getting xtra $$$$ from tampa in the late 90s if and when he was inducted to go in as a devil ray.
