Andre Dawson Requests Cap Change on Hall of Fame Plaque

The former Expos and Cubs player has sparked debate over player representation in the Hall of Fame.

Andre Dawson, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, has requested a change to his Cooperstown plaque, asking for the cap to be switched from the Montreal Expos to the Chicago Cubs.
Dawson played 11 seasons with the Expos and six with the Cubs, but believes his time with the Cubs was more impactful and personally significant.
The Hall of Fame, not the player, has been the party to decide the cap on a player's plaque since 2001.
Dawson's request has been sent to the Hall of Fame's board of directors for review.
Dawson's request has sparked debate about a player's right to choose the team they represent in the Hall of Fame.
