Dawson’s Hat

The Hall of Fame decided to put an Expos cap on Andre Dawson:

After attending the annual B.A.T. banquet in New York Tuesday night, Dawson sent the following text to The Tribune:

“Hall will issue a press release (Wednesday) announcing that I will go in as an Expo.”

Good. There are still Montreal fans out there, and they deserve to have one of their great players in with that hat.

    I just wish they’d bag the whole team thing and induct them as individuals to avoid this sort of thing.

    I’m pretty sure Carter is displayed with an Expos hat (which is all it means to “go in as”). Here’s an USA Today article saying thats what would happen: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/hallfame/2003-01-16-carter-expos_x.htm

    (And as I read Wikipedia, the article is slightly ambiguous (surprise!) but seems to agree that the Hall chose to put him in as an Expo. I”m referring to the WIkipedia entry on Carter — there may be others that say otherwise.)

    Doesn’t mean Expos fans don’t deserve to have Dawson in as an Expo too.
