Andre Dawson is getting his wish…sort of.
When Dawson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010, he requested that the hat on his plaque be the Chicago Cubs’ “C”. The Hall nixed the request and enshrined him with the Montreal Expos hat instead. Dawson played 11 seasons, compared to six in Chicago, but it was at Wrigley Field where he won the 1987 MVP and felt most at home. Dawson again requested in 2023 that the hat be changed, but instead, the Hall compromised by making his hat have no logo at all.
This reflects the Hall’s 2014 decision to allow players with identities across multiple teams to enter with a blank cap; had that rule been in place when Dawson was elected, it would have been his choice.
With the Cubs, Dawson was a five-time All-Star and blasted 174 Home Runs.
