Andre Dawson Requests Hall of Fame to Change Plaque Cap to Cubs
Despite significant career achievements with the Expos, Dawson expresses preference for his time with the Cubs.
- Andre Dawson has requested the National Baseball Hall of Fame to change the cap on his plaque from the Montreal Expos to the Chicago Cubs.
- Dawson disagreed with the Hall's decision to feature an Expos cap on his plaque when it was made 13 years ago.
- The Hall of Fame took over the decision of which cap to feature on a player's plaque from the players themselves in 2002, following reports of compensation offers for logo representation.
- Dawson had 1,575 of his 2,774 career hits with the Expos, won six of his eight Gold Glove awards in Montreal, and led the Expos to their only postseason series win.
- Despite his achievements with the Expos, Dawson has expressed his preference for the Cubs, where he won the 1987 NL MVP award.
