Dawson HOF As Cub, Expo etc ???

[KNH]

This could be a case where they just ask Dawson which he prefers.

[paul]

When he was with the Red Sox, he said he wanted to go into the Hall with a Red Sox cap because he was pissed at the Expos and the Cubs. I believe he then got pissed at the Red Sox. I'm not sure how he feels about the Marlins. Maybe he will go in capless. There are quite a few of those.

[dennis]

my guess is that he will go in as an expo,which imo would be the right choice.

[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

[Jim VB]

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??

[JasonL]

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!

[D. Bergin]

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?
